Abstract

Palmyra palm is a very valuable commercial crop in coastal areas of India, northern Sri Lanka, and mainland southeastern Asia. Friction welding has several advantages compared to traditional mechanical fasteners or gluing. In this study, mechanically induced linear vibration friction welding was applied to palmyra palm. The high levels of carbohydrates and lignin contribute to the bonding joint a lot, but the lack of entangled and mixed fiber makes the bonding strength not that high.
