“…Basalt fiber is a type of green environmental material, 42 so it has also been of wide concern to researchers. [43][44][45][46][47][48][49] In this context, the present research group has recently attempted to produce bionic integrated HPs (hereafter described as BEPs) with short basalt fiber-reinforced composites (SBFRCs) and has studied their compression, 50 bending, 51 shear 52 and lateral compression 53 properties. However, in our previous studies, the BEPs used were produced by three-dimension (3D) printing technology with ductile engineering resins or metal materials.…”

To develop composite material beetle elytron plates (BEPs), short basalt fiberreinforced epoxy resin BEPs with hollow trabeculae and honeycomb walls were fabricated exploratively. Through comparison with honeycomb plates (HPs) with the same wall thickness, the basic mechanical performance, failure mode and influence mechanism were studied via out-of-plane compression tests. The results show that compared with HPs, the specific strength and energy consumption per volume of BEPs can be at least 18% and 112% higher, respectively; however, the increase is less than half that of BEPs made of ductile materials. The former is due to the synergistic mechanism of the trabecular-honeycomb structure in the BEP core layer, which endows the composite BEPs with better ductility than HPs, while the latter is caused by the prominent brittleness of the composite material used in this study. Additionally, the height-to-thickness ratio of the plate honeycomb wall in this article is not large enough. Thus, the core has great rigidity and fails to buckle in experiments; instead, shear failure of the core material occurs. This study reveals for the first time the mechanical compression properties and failure mechanism of brittle material BEPs and shows a direction for developing BEPs in similar material types.

In the past two decades (2001)(2002)(2003)(2004)(2005)(2006)(2007)(2008)(2009)(2010)(2011)(2012)(2013)(2014)(2015)(2016)(2017)(2018)(2019)(2020), researchers have been attracted toward hybrid composite materials reinforced with synthetic and natural fibers. Biodegradability and harmlessness to the environment are the major attributes of natural fibers, such qualities support these fibers to reinforce into composites. At the same time, higher moisture absorption and poor compatibility characteristics of natural fibers have forced to hybridize with other synthetic/natural fibers. Several researchers have already done the hybridization of natural fibers with synthetic/natural fibers to overcome the limitations of natural fibers. Due to this reason, we perform a literature review on the influence of hybridization on the properties of composites reinforced with synthetic and natural fibers. This review is made on resulting properties of hybrid composites such as mechanical, thermal, water absorption, tribological behavior, morphological characteristics, and other properties from the year 2001 to 2020.

“…Moreover, the investigation by M. Bulut 18 reveals that the mechanical properties of basalt composites have been enhanced with a small number of graphene nanoparticles. Furthermore, Yan X. et al 19 explored that employing basalt fiber as reinforcement to hybrid composites improves tensile and flexural modulus properties. However, C. Fragassa’s 20 finding shows that hybrid laminates did not perform at the level predicted by the rule of mixtures, particularly flexural performance.…”

The impact of environmental conditions on the mechanical properties of composites is critical for various industries, particularly marine. The paper examines the effect of saltwater conditions on the mechanical properties of basalt, carbon, and glass fibers/epoxy hybrid composites. The composite samples were manufactured using Vacuum Assisted Resin Transfer Molding (VARTM) and then immersed in saltwater solution before tests. The tests were performed using Instron 8801 with 100 kilonewtons (kN) capacity. The environmental effects on the mechanical properties were supported by the Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-OES) analysis of the water. The ICP-OES analysis result shows a transfer of ions from the fiber to the saltwater solution. As a result, the mass gain of all the samples increases with the conditioning period, while the tensile and flexural properties show degradation. Moreover, the hybrid composites show a gradual failure mode compared with non-hybrid composites. In addition, the failure modes and morphological analysis of the failed test samples were presented. Delamination, explosive failure, and fiber breakage characterize the tensile failure mode of basalt/epoxy (BE) and its hybrids. However, the glass/epoxy (GE) and carbon/epoxy (CE) show fractures in two or three sections. In addition, compressive failure, tensile failure, shear failures, delamination, and fiber breakage were detected in the flexural samples.
