Abstract :
In this Research article, Epoxy (E) based composites reinforced with E-Glass fiber (G.F) and filled with two
different micro fillers saw wood dust(S.W.D) and cattle bone powder(C.B.P) were fabricated by manual hand layup
technique with appropriate compositions of raw materials. After fabrication of composites, to investigate the
mechanical properties like Tensile Strength (T.S), Tensile Modulus (T.M), Flexural Strength (F.S), Inter Laminar
Shear Strength (ILSS), Impact Strength (I.S), Hardness (H) of composites with and without fillers they are cut in to
specimens as per ASTM Standards. The tests were conducted on those specimens for mechanical characterization
and results were tabulated. The possible reasons for increase/decrease in the mechanical characterization are
explained and finally the TOPSIS (Technique for Order Performance by Similarity to Ideal Solution) is implemented
to measure the proximity to the ideal solution.
