This research work investigates the two body wear behavior of natural fiber reinforced composites using a pin on disc test set-up. Natural fibers such as Polyalthia Longifolia, Mangifera Indica and Jute were used as reinforcements with epoxy matrix. Four types of composites with 30% fiber weight fra...
