“…Hybrid composites fabrication is done by a combining two or more materials that are reinforced together in a single matrix. A new material structure with more fetching and enhanced properties than their constituent materials and offers an extent of properties that can't be bring off by a single form of reinforcement, whilst reducing their disadvantages [1,2].…”

In this modern era, the natural fibers usage in automobile and construction sectors has been increased. The goal of the current work was to investigate the fiber orientation effect on dynamic mechanical properties of hybrid Pineapple Leaf Fibre (PALF) hybridized with basalt reinforced epoxy composite at changing vibration frequencies. Hand Lay-up technique was used to manufacture the composites by keeping the unidirectional basalt fabric as an outer layer by keeping PALF as inner layer followed by static compression method. Tensile and flexural moduli were also determined apart from storage modulus (E′) and damping factor (tan δ) for different PALF fiber angles. The results exemplified that not only the storage modulus and loss factor but also glass transition temperature (Tg) as well found to increase with frequency and also the fiber orientation angle has a greater impact on dynamic and static properties.

“…From this point of view, the production of hybrid composites can represent a valid applied compromise. 7,11 Several experimental studies have shown that the hybridization of natural fibers with GFRPs improves tensile, bending, and impact strength of materials. [12][13][14] Furthermore, the positioning of the glass layers at the extremities in the hybrid laminate stacking sequence allows mechanical strength improvements.…”

The investigation for natural fibers composites in terms of performance, durability, and environmental impact for structural applications in marine environments is a relevant challenge in scientific and industrial field. On this context, the aim of this work is to assess the durability and mechanical stability in severe environment of epoxy/glass–flax hybrid composites. For the sake of comparison, also full flax and glass epoxy composites were investigated. All samples were exposed to salt–fog environmental conditions up to 60 aging days. Wettability behavior during time was compared with water uptake evolution to assess water sensitivity of hybrid composite configurations. Moreover, quasi‐static flexural and dynamic mechanical analysis were carried to evaluate as aging conditions, laminate configuration influence the surface and mechanical performances stability of the hybrid composites. The addition of glass fibers on flax laminate allows to enhance both flexural strength by 90%, and modulus by 128%, even if these properties are lower than those of full glass laminates. The results evidenced that the hybridization of flax fibers with glass ones is a practical approach to enhance the aging durability of epoxy/flax composite laminates in marine environmental conditions, obtaining a suitable compromise among environmental impact, mechanical properties, aging resistance, and costs. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

In this study, a modelling approach based on finite element analysis (FEA) for predicting the flexural properties of fibre reinforced hybrid composites containing basalt fibres is presented. The FEA model was validated against the experimental data of various hybrid composites including carbon/basalt, E glass/basalt, aramid/basalt, flax/basalt and carbon/ basalt/flax hybrid composites. With the developed FEA model, the carbon/basalt and glass/basalt hybrid composites of various degrees of hybridisation were investigated. It is shown that for the carbon/epoxy hybrid composite, the flexural strength can be improved via hybridisation with basalt fibres. For the other hybrid composites, no significant positive hybrid effects in the flexural strength exists.
