This research investigates the mechanical and vibrational behaviour of a new class of hybrid composites. These composites utilize pineapple, flax fibers, nylon mesh, stainless steel wire mesh, and an epoxy resin matrix. For this experiment, three distinct composite samples of Pineapple/nylon mesh/Pineapple/wire mesh/pineapple (S1), Pineapple/nylon mesh/Flax/wire mesh/pineapple (S2), and Flax/nylon mesh/flax/wire mesh/flax (S3) were fabricated using a hand layup process. Mechanical properties, including hardness, impact resistance, flexural strength, and tensile strength, are evaluated according to established ASTM protocols. Additionally, free vibration studies are conducted under both clamp-clamp and clamp-free conditions. This study is expected to divulge a significant influence of fiber arrangement and composition on the mechanical properties of the composites. The S3 composites exhibited a 13.88% increase in tensile strength when compared to the other two composites (i.e., S1 and S2). This enhancement is attributed to the inclusion of flax fiber at both ends and at the center of the composite. Flax fibers not only possess desirable inherent qualities but also demonstrates strong adhesion to the nylon and stainless-steel wire mesh and S3 composites achieved the highest flexural strength due to its inherent flexibility and excellent bonding properties of the flax layers. Furthermore, the effective bonding between the center flax layer and the surrounding mesh in S2 composites contributed to its maximum impact resistance and hardness. Composite S3 unveiled higher rigidity in both unconstrained (241.3 Hz) and constrained (220.6 Hz) states. The Mode III vibration characteristics were found to be extremely sensitive in evaluating the stiffness properties of the composites.
