Jute based green composites are emerging materials due to their certain attractive properties like appropriate strength to weight ratio, high damping ratio, low price and corrosion resistance. Jute/carbon hybrid composite can replace carbon fiber reinforced composites without much loss in tensile strength. These hybrid composites are now being used in various automobile interior and exterior parts. In this study tensile behavior of carbon/jute reinforced epoxy hybrid textile composites, for different volume fractions of carbon and jute fibers, is studied experimentally and numerically. Tensile behavior of composite materials is always required for design and analysis of any structure. It is found that with increase in jute percentage tensile strength of hybrid composite decrease. Numerical results agrees well with experimental results and error increases with increase in jute percentage due to heterogeneous jute properties and waviness of fabrics. Fractographic study reveals that delamination phenomenon exists in between plies and jute fiber shows more pullout than carbon fiber. Scanning electron microscope analysis depicted that matrix fails in form of fragmentation while fibers show pullout during failure.

“…These issues pave the way for the use of advanced machining techniques for machining of these materials. In recent years, the main focus for the machining of FRP composites has been laid on Abrasive water jet machining (AWJM) and Laser beam machining (LBM) process [4,5]. Shukla and Tambe [6] successfully performed AWJ cutting of Kevlar fiber reinforced polymer composites.…”

The aim of this research is to identify the optimum levels of leading laser cutting parameters for accomplishing precise cut geometry with better quality for cutting of newly developed Basalt-Glass-Kevlar 29 hybrid FRP composite laminate. The total of 42 experiments have been performed on a 2.34 mm thick laminate using a 250W pulsed Nd:YAG laser cutting system. Lamp current, pulse width, standoff distance, compressed air pressure, and cutting speed have been selected as variable laser cutting parameters. Thereafter, grey relational analysis approach has been adopted to single index optimization of top and bottom kerf deviation, simultaneously. These optimal solutions have been validated by comparing the results of confirmation experiments and found satisfactory improvement. Standoff distance has been observed as the most influencing parameter for both top and bottom kerf deviation.

“…The natural jute bers based composites are seen extensively in many automobiles parts, furniture equipment, storage of agricultural products, sports goods, and many chemical products [11]. There are plethora of experimental [12][13][14][15][16][17][18] and a few numerical techniques [19][20][21] for the mechanical characterization of Natural Fiber-Reinforced Composite (NFRPC) materials or only Natural Fiber Composites (NFC). These numerical techniques can successfully predict the mechanical properties of NFC and different synthetic bers reinforced composite within an acceptable error range [19 − 20] , [22].…”

Composites have an exceptional prospective to replace traditional metals like steel and aluminium by offering low weight, high strength, excellent damping characteristics and outstanding performance at elevated temperatures. Jute composites are emerging significantly and are being used in the formation of green composites materials. In this study, glass-jute hybrid composites, prepared through hand layup techniques, were used with different layers of glass and jute fiber. The tensile test carried out on these composite materials was according to ASTM D3039 standard. The experimental results stipulate that the tensile properties of Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) were not affected by the mixing of jute fiber in it. Also, the strength of single layer jute fabric with glass layers and GFRP composites was found out to be almost the same. Furthermore, the hybridization of jute fiber with glass fiber could improve its tensile properties. In addition to this, a numerical simulation using ABAQUS was performed, and an error of nearly 4% was found between the results obtained using numerical and experimental approaches. The error may have been resulted due to the non -uniformity in diameter of jute fiber. Moreover, to find the interfacial strength of the material, Fractography was performed on OLYMPUS Microscope. The results obtained from this analysis indicates that more pull out of jute fabric in high jute weight percentage composites is the leading cause of its lower tensile strength. The benefits of hybrid composites could be seen in many engineering and structural applications including skateboard, hockey and automobile’s interior and exterior parts.
