Flexural behaviour of hybrid laminated composites

Abstract: The present paper studies the flexural behaviour of hand manufactured hybrid laminated composites with a hemp natural fibre/polypropylene core and two glass fibres/polypropylene surface layers at each side of the specimen. When compared with full glass fibres reinforced polypropylene laminates, the hybrid composites have economical, ecological and recycling advantages and also specific fatigue strength benefits. Static and fatigue tests were performed in three point bending for both laminates to evaluate flexu… Show more

“…This result makes the jute fibre amongst the best selected material for high strength and stiffness to weight-ratio i.e. in structural application where bending loading is predominant.The present study agreed with the effect of hybridization on the materials selection as found by Reis et.al [21] in investigating the flexural behaviour of hybrid laminated composites using glass/hemp reinforced PP, effects of hybridization of glass/coir on tensile and flexural loadings [3], hybridization on the damage resistance of woven glass, woven carbon and UD carbon using drop impact [18] and mechanical characterization of hybrid composite laminates using basalt, flax, hemp and glass fibres [22].…”

“…7 These days increasing the interest of natural fiber polymer composites are being chosen over the synthetic based fiber composites due to the several advantages such as easy availability, low density, low cost, biodegradability, a range of mechanical properties and less abrasiveness. [8][9][10][11][12] From various natural fibers, jute appears to be a promising fiber because of its high aspect ratio and toughness in comparison to other natural fibers. Generally, natural fibers are not problem free alternatives and their structural compositions like cellulose, hemicelluloses, lignin, pectin and waxy elements which allow moisture absorption from the environment which leads to poor bonding with the matrix materials.…”
