“…The carbon fiber composite presents the most highly dispersed data for mode I (Figure 2(A)), associated with higher delamination instability and crack propagation jump, which is characteristic of high strength and fragile interfacial behavior. [46,51] On the other hand, the glass fiber composite (Figure 2(B)) shows the lowest dispersion, resulting from higher stability in terms of the crack growth. The data for the hybrid laminate (Figure 2(C)) maintained a dispersion similar to that for the carbon fiber composite.…”

The delamination of a carbon/glass/epoxy hybrid composite was studied experimentally to analyze the effect of reinforcement heterogeneity on data dispersion. A statistical approach was applied to evaluate the effect of the carbon/glass/epoxy hybrid composite on the individual modes (I and II) of delamination. The analysis of variance evidenced the contribution of reinforcement type in strain energy release ratio (SERR). Curve fitting for the quasi-static test was performed with the Weibull distribution model to predict the energy release versus crack length with different reliability levels. The 60% reliability curve presented the best fit with the average of the experimental data. For all reliability levels, the hybrid composite showed an increase in SERR.

“…Mode-I interlaminar fracture strength of flax, glass, and hybrid flax-glass fibre woven composites was investigated using the DCB test of Saidane et al [ 90 ]. To examine the damage mechanism of each composite, the acoustic emission signals obtained during the tests and scanning electron microscope images were used.…”

Over the last decade, the progressive application of natural fibres in polymer composites has had a major effect in alleviating environmental impacts. Recently, there is a growing interest in the development of green materials in a woven form by utilising natural fibres from lignocellulosic materials for many applications such as structural, non-structural composites, household utilities, automobile parts, aerospace components, flooring, and ballistic materials. Woven materials are one of the most promising materials for substituting or hybridising with synthetic polymeric materials in the production of natural fibre polymer composites (NFPCs). These woven materials are flexible, able to be tailored to the specific needs and have better mechanical properties due to their weaving structures. Seeing that the potential advantages of woven materials in the fabrication of NFPC, this paper presents a detailed review of studies related to woven materials. A variety of factors that influence the properties of the resultant woven NFRC such as yarn characteristics, fabric properties as well as manufacturing parameters were discussed. Past and current research efforts on the development of woven NFPCs from various polymer matrices including polypropylene, polylactic acid, epoxy and polyester and the properties of the resultant composites were also compiled. Last but not least, the applications, challenges, and prospects in the field also were highlighted.

“…Regarding the hybrid Flax-Glass fiber-reinforced composite (FGFC), a lot of torn out fibers were found during SEM examination, this was due to huge quantity of fiber interaction and intermingling of fiber as indicated exhibits a large number of fibers displaced along with torn and broken fibers resulting in https://www.indjst.org/ fiber bridging which requires extra energy for the cracks to propagate. In addition to this, the SEM fractography also indicates some individual flax fibers extended or stretched from the yarn of the flax fibers, causing a number of fiber failures which gave a significant improvement of interlaminar toughness in FGFC, and failure of fiber bundle was also observed (13) .…”

Objectives:The key objective of this present article is to understand the prominence of hybrid laminates reinforced with different types of synthetic and natural fibers on mechanical and fracture toughness properties with precise apprehension to their applications in structural, aerospace, automotive, offshore, and packaging industries, etc. Various types of hybrid composites which were manufactured by different techniques are studied to understand the significance of natural fibers to enhance the mechanical properties of hybrid composites. Methods: A methodical comprehensive review has been done on the various tests used for evaluating mechanical and fracture behavior of hybrid composites using Flax, Sisal, Kenaf, Jute and Banana fibers. Certainly, the abundance of Natural fibers with low cost, eco-friendly and bio-degradable characteristics have captured the attention of the researchers across the globe. Findings: Experimental investigations revealed that the alkaline treated natural fibers demonstrated desirable mechanical and fracture toughness properties when they were used in conjunction with synthetic fibers. Developing hybrid composites using natural and synthetic fibers will be an innovative concept, which can offer a new class of composite material for primary structural applications. Novelty: This review will certainly help composite research community to explore sustainable eco-friendly hybrid composites. In addition to this, there is an ample of scope to utilize the natural fibers to develop hybrid fiber composites by partial replacement of synthetic fibers in high performance FRP composites. This assessment will also give brief comprehensive report on the performance of Natural Fiber Hybrid Composites (NFHC) with respect to their mechanical properties relative to conventional FRP Hybrid composites.
