“…18 Only a few researchers have carried out studies on the effect of the stacking sequence on the tensile and flexural strength of hybrid composites. 22,23 In these studies, it was found that placing a relatively stronger fiber on the outside of the composite increases the flexural strength. It was also reported that the tensile strength increased with increasing fiber volume in the hybrid composite.…”

Summary The tidal current turbine is the most efficient way to extract energy from the sea. This system can be prone to critical loads such as impact accidental in the installation and maintenance phase. Indeed, several complex modes of damage susceptible to harming the stability of the structure are studied to conceive hybrid composite nozzles with better resistance to damage. For this reason, two scenarios of low‐velocity impact of a hybrid composite nozzle (glass/carbon) were investigated. In both cases, the impact was realized in the region of the trailing edge of the nozzle, and the results obtained were compared between three different laminated. On the other hand, damage modeling was formulated using the finite element method based on the Hashin criteria. Energy conservation of the nozzle was verified to validate the numerical model. Also, the effects of the impact velocity and the panel's flexibility on the initiation and propagation of damage have been studied. Depending on the results, the stacking sequence significantly influences the formation of damage. However, the results show that the hybrid nozzle with CGG (carbon/glass/glass) stacking has a higher impact resistance compared to other laminates.

“…This process, known as hybridization, yields high-quality, cost-effective, and environmentally beneficial materials. 37 Few researchers [38][39][40][41] conducted investigations to evaluate the influence of the stacking sequence on the flexural and tensile strengths of composites manufactured in a hybrid manner. The implication of somewhat robust fibers to the surface of a material increases its tensile and flexural strength, as discovered.…”

Hybrid polymer composites' lightweight, biodegradability, damping, and cost‐effectiveness have made them popular in recent decades. This study evaluated the raw and alkali‐treated hybrid composite's free vibration studies and mechanical properties by changing the ramie fiber layers (core) from two to four and keeping the carbon fiber layers (top and bottom) constant. Thus, to enhance the mechanical properties, the ramie fiber was treated prior with 2, 3, and 4 wt% of sodium hydroxide (NaOH). These composites were characterized chemically, mechanically, morphologically, and vibrationally via Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, flexural and tensile tests, field emission scanning electron microscope, and free vibration setup, respectively. The tensile and flexural samples were loaded under quasistatic conditions and tested at 1 and 2 mm/min to evaluate tensile and flexural properties, respectively, and a free vibration test built the natural frequencies and reliable damping factor using clamped‐clamped and clamped‐free boundary conditions. Two layers of carbon fiber (exterior layer) and two layers of ramie fiber (core layer) at 3 wt% NaOH produced maximum tensile strength (523 MPa) and flexural modulus (68,869 MPa) among natural and hybrid composite combinations. This study shows that hybridization and alkaline treatment improve composite material mechanical properties in a specific ratio.Highlights Mechanical and vibration analysis of carbon/ramie hybrid composites was studied. Ramie fiber's surface treatment was carried out in NaOH at 2, 3, and 4 wt%. Surface treatment uplifts mechanical and vibration properties than untreated. Ramie fiber's chemical consequences were analyzed through Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and field emission scanning electron microscope tests. Surface treatment at 3 wt% builds higher mechanical and vibrational properties.

“…23 The hybridization process would help to increase the strength of polymer matrix composites reinforced with different natural fibers and suitable filler materials may help improve the characteristics of composites then 10% glass fiber, 20% jute fiber, and 10% tea fiber achieved the optimum mechanical properties, it can be an alternative material for the pure glass fiber. [24][25][26][27] Ramprasath et al determined that both meta-heuristic and statistical methods were used to optimize the mechanical behaviors of coir fiber-reinforced vinyl ester composites with the addition of red mud particles. 28 Jayabal et al demonstrated the fiber pull-out began with natural fibers before moving on to glass fibers and an excellent interfacial bonding was created between the woven glass and polyester resin as opposed to the coir-polyester matrix using a scanning electron microscope (SEM).…”

The contemporary agricultural natural fiber is effectively used for fabricating composites because of its economical, ample availability, and biodegradability. In this way, the potential material for the reinforcement of hybrid (paddy straw and pineapple leaf) fiber- and ortho-laminated polyester composites was conducted. This research article is focused on the hybridization of untreated, treated, and paddy pulp fiber-reinforced polyester composite laminates. The unidirectional paddy straw fiber and pineapple leaf fiber (PALF) were used in the fabrication process of laminate using a compression molding machine with the mold dimensions of 300 × 300 × 5 mm is used and the investigation of mechanical (tensile, flexural, impact, hardness, shear) behaviors are conducted in the samples as per the standard. Five samples were prepared by varying the fiber content in the matrix in which sample S1 pure polyester plate without any addition of reinforcement. Out of these five samples, sample 4 (S4) produced better tensile, flexural, impact, hardness, and shear values of 28 MPa, 61 MPa, 3.46 Joules, 64 HR L, and 68.7 MPa, respectively. Comparing the laminate samples of S1 and S4 there is a 35.2% increase in the tensile value of S4, similarly, other values also resulted in better hikes. In addition to that, the water absorption properties of the laminate were also evaluated and fiber breakage, fiber pullout, fiber orientation, crack propagation, and voids on the fractured specimens were identified with help of a scanning electron microscope (SEM). Overall, the fabricated hybrid composite laminates were lightweight and has good fiber-matrix bonding with improved mechanical and morphological properties for commercial and home need applications.
