In past few years, composites are gaining considerable importance bytheir low cost, lighter weight, easy availability and are also ecofriendly as compared to synthetic fiber. These are the important attractive characteristics of composites that make them useful for almost all fields like engineering, medical etc. In this worknaturally obtained FRC materials like sunn hemp and coconut fiber are used. The sunn hemp and coconut fiber are adopted as a natural Fiber and epoxy resin is applied as matrix to make the composite. The hand layup process is used to prepare the samples at normal temperature. The sunn hemp and coconut fiber are reinforced in the matrix at two different fibre percentage 3%and 5%. To avoid voids these samples are kept under pressure for 24 hr. Universal Testing Machine is used for to test the tensile strength and flexural rigidity as per the standard. The composites are analyzed in Hypermesh software. The results are compared with pure epoxy sample and it is analyzed that composite with coir Fiber gives more strength than pure composite. It is evaluated that tensile strength increases with rise in angle of orientation whereas flexural rigidity decreases.
