Natural fiber reinforced plastics have been expected as alternative materials of glass fiber reinforced composites. The fatigue properties of natural fiber reinforced plastics are, however, not always well known. In this study, uniaxial tensile fatigue tests of unidirectional jute spun yarn reinforc...
