“…Characterization of GFRP blade material with partial jute reinforcements (glass-to-jute weight percentage of 95:5) was done, whereby properties like tensile strength, bending strength, shear strength, fracture toughness was investigated. By placing jute layer at various positions in GFRP blade material the mechanical strengths were estimated and compared with the conventional one [ 184 ]. Based on the findings, the optimal layup sequence for GFRP blades with partial woven jute reinforcements was selected, which has no significant impact on tensile parameters but improves biodegradability after service life.…”

Natural and synthetic fibres have emerged in high demand due to their excellent properties. Natural fibres have good mechanical properties and are less expensive, making them a viable substitute for synthetic fibers. Owing to certain drawbacks such as their inconsistent quality and hydrophilic nature, researchers focused on incorporating these two fibres as an alternative to improve the limitations of the single fibre. This review focused on the interply hybridisation of natural and synthetic fibres into composites. Natural fibres and their classifications are discussed. The physical and mechanical properties of these hybrid composites have also been included. A full discussion of the mechanical properties of natural/synthetic fibre hybrid composites such as tensile, flexural, impact, and perforation resistance, as well as their failure modes, is highlighted. Furthermore, the applications and future directions of hybrid composites have been described in details.

“…For linear elastic fracture mechanics problems, most commercial finite element software packages such as ASKA, Abaqus and Ansys include a post-processing option for determining fracture properties such as plane strain fracture toughness and critical strain energy release rate, allowing users to perform straightforward assessments of cracked mechanical parts or structures [42][43][44]. Modified virtual crack closure technique [45] and J-integral approaches are the main techniques available [46][47][48] for this study. These extrapolation approaches are particularly well-suited for use as a stand-alone post-processing technique.…”

Airflow required for the heat and mass transfer in industrial applications is often provided by axial flow fans. Glass fibre reinforced polymers (GFRP) are most often used to make these fan blades. The usage of glass fibres in composite materials is growing. By 2025, the global market for glass fibres will be worth 16.5 billion pounds. However, non-biodegradable composite reinforcement has major ecological and human health concerns, especially when reaching the end of its operational lifespan. Until now, industries have shown a strong inclination to use GFRP without adequately contemplating the potential consequences associated with their disposal. The economic viability of glass fibre recycling is questionable. However, natural fibres like jute and fibres extracted from vegetable plants are of much popular among academics and researchers due to their sustainability and ease of use. So, they’re suitable for making polymer composites. The amount of natural fibres that may be added to GFRP composites without materially altering their mechanical characteristics is a crucial factor in improving their decreased embodied emissions and biodegradability after service life. In this work the material C 1 represents an 18-ft axial flow fan blade material made of GFRP. This study used the term C 1 denotes the specific material utilised in the fabrication of 18-feet axial flow fan blades for industrial purposes. By substituting one layer of C 1 with woven jute and changing its position in it, the materials C 2 through C 6 are produced. All the materials are tested for fracture parameters like plane strain fracture toughness ( K 1 C ) and Critical strain energy release rate ( G 1 C ) as per ASTM D-5045. The results were validated by using finite element models implemented in a commercially available software ANSYS R19.2. The optimal layup sequence for fan blade material with single-layer woven jute reinforcement was found, which preserves fracture properties, also improves biodegradability after service life.
