“…Few works conducted on studying the influence of composite thickness subjected to static and fatigue conditions, have shown a decrease in failure probability, an increase in defects, a decrease in fatigue life, and variation in curing of composites through the thickness [ 30 , 31 ]. The basalt plain weave fabrics indicated better tensile and compressive strength than twill weave due to higher interlacing density and binding effect between fibers [ 32 ]. The plain weave of kenaf and banana fibers displayed higher tensile strength than twill weave due to interlacing of fibers in both directions [ 33 ].…”

“…Several works have given an overview on the different properties of glass-plant hybrid composites [9][10][11]. In recent years, there has been substantial interest in the application of basalt fibres as reinforcement of polymer matrices mainly as replacement for glass fibres in view of their advantages in terms of environmental cost relative to their chemical and mechanical properties [12][13][14]. This has triggered the development of hybrids including plant fibre and basalt fibre laminates [15][16][17][18][19][20].…”

Investigation on the fatigue life of hybrid composites is critical to extend their structural applications.However, there is a lack of research on fatigue performance of hybrid composites. In this study, the fatigue life of a flax-basalt woven-ply hybrid composite is investigated and compared with the behaviour of 100% flax and 100% basalt composites. After the optimisation of the epoxy resin curing cycle, tension-tension fatigue tests were performed on samples with two orientations, 0°/90° and ± 45°. S-N curves with absolute values and with normalised values are discussed. Results showed that the hybridisation was able to produce a positive effect on the fatigue resistance of basalt laminates: a better normalised fatigue resistance was obtained for the hybrid composite in comparison with the 100% basalt one in both orientations. A two-parameter fatigue life model was then applied and showed its ability to predict the fatigue behaviour of the hybrid composite for the two orientations. An analysis of damage mechanisms by means of infrared thermography and scanning electron microscopy allowed observing the different types of damage occurring during fatigue loading in hybrid composites.

“…The twill 2/2 pattern has fewer contact points than the plain pattern and there is a free space between the yarn, affecting to mechanical properties of fabric. 1,26 The tensile modulus of the plain (796.53 MPa) and twill 2/2 pattern (655.77 MPa) also shows the same tendency. The tensile strength and modulus of the plain pattern are higher than the twill 2/2 weave patterns for 28.9% and 21.5%, respectively.…”

Biocomposite materials play an important role to replace the conventional polymer composites in the issue of serious environmental problems from the end‐used products. The relationship between the design and construction of biocomposites structure and their properties is an important factor to the composite application. In this study, the biocomposites of poly(butylene succinate) (PBS) reinforced with poly(lactic acid) (PLA) woven fabric to improve mechanical properties of PBS matrix was fabricated by compression molding process. The plain weave PLA woven fabrics showed higher tensile strength (28.9%) and modulus (21.5%) than the twill 2/2 weave pattern. However, the flexural strength and modulus of composites reinforced with multi‐layers PLA woven fabric are higher than the one‐layer reinforcement (57% and 31%, respectively). The impact and peel strength of PLA twill 2/2 weave biocomposite are higher than the plain weaving. The mechanical property of matrix reinforced with plain structure was found to increase on the vertical axis while the twill weaving showed the increase on horizontal axis adhesion between the reinforced PLA woven fabric and the PBS matrix.
