“…However, Figure 9 shows that the first stage of failure is characterized by adhesive fracture due to debonding of the interface between the fiber and matrix, specifically in the fibers perpendicularly oriented to the length and located in the middle of the skins. Similar results with these types of failure were obtained in earlier studies [22]. The SC3S reached this stage of failure at around 95% of its total life and the SC5S at around 98%.…”

Sandwich structures have become effective structural elements for engineering applications due to their good design flexibility. Understanding the material behavior under static and dynamic loads, as well as the failure mechanisms of these sandwich structures, is of great importance. This work evaluates the fatigue and static bending behavior of epoxy resin specimens and sandwich composites composed of an epoxy resin core with glass fiber laminated faces. The fatigue life, failure modes, and stiffness degradation of these specimens are determined experimentally. The specimens were cycled under constant amplitude and monitored by a data acquisition system that allowed continuous data collection. Three stages of failure were identified using microscope analyses and stiffness degradation curves. In the case of an imposed displacement of 2 mm, the sandwich structures were shown to have a significantly lower fatigue life than the epoxy resin specimens.

“…In composite material structures, if delamination of plies occurs between each lamination structure, it means a progressive failure mode has occurred. The failure mode, can be divided into three stages: damage initiation, damage propagation and total perforation (fracture) [12,15,16]. The results obtained in this experimental shows in the range of accepted, but need more investigation related on the actual condition of table tennis blade condition.…”

Nowadays, natural fibers getting attention from researchers and industries to optimize the use it, with combination of polymers as composite structure, due to environmental awareness. Furthermore, it show a few advantage, such as biodegradability, light in weight and non-toxic characteristic. In this study, kenaf natural fibers was used as reinforcement material, with combination of polyester as matrix material, known as polymer matrix composites. The main purpose of this study is to analysis the mechanical properties of kenaf natural fiber/polyester composite structure, in order to know the suitability of kenaf natural fibers as replacement material for table tennis blade structure, instead of using wood. The structural panel of composite laminates has been produced using hand lay-up technique. The experimental works are performed in tension, impact (Charpy) and shear condition. The characteristic of different condition on kenaf composite structure was studied. Based on the result, it found the properties of kenaf composite structure, and it will used as a benchmark, to compare with initial properties of table tennis blade made by wood. In addition, the strength and a weakness of that particular materials and lamination structure will be identified.

The natural fibers such as jute, coir, hemp, sisal etc. are randomly used as reinforcements for composite materials because of its various advantages such as low cost, low densities, low energy consumption over conventional fibers. In addition, they are renewable as well as biodegradable, and indeed wide varieties of fibers are locally available. In this study, glass–jute fiber reinforced polymer composite is fabricated, and the mechanical properties such as tensile, flexural and impact behavior are investigated. The materials selected for the studies were jute fiber and glass fiber as the reinforcement and epoxy resin as the matrix. The hand lay‐out technique was used to fabricate these composites. Fractured surface were comprehensively examined in scanning electron microscope (SEM) to determine the microscopic fracture mode. A numerical procedure based on the finite element method was then applied to evaluate the overall behavior of this composite using the experimentally applied load. Results showed that by incorporating the optimum amount of jute fibers, the overall strength of glass fiber reinforced composite can be increased and cost saving of more than 30% can be achieved. It can thus be inferred that jute fiber can be a very potential candidate in making of composites, especially for partial replacement of high‐cost glass fibers for low load bearing applications.
