Failure Behavior and Mechanism of Pultruded Kenaf/Glass Hybrid Composite Under Compressive Impact Loading

A substantial amount of kenaf fiber research has been carried out recently to incorporate more sustainable materials into the production process. For many years, scientists have studied properties and hybrid composites it may form. Composites made from synthetic fibers were focus majority study. Similarly, researchers discovered mechanical characteristics as a fundamental truth. Despite this, earlier on particular not permitted using for load-bearing purposes. Nevertheless, can significantly influence car exteriors other vital applications, even if their impact are only in science disciplines. Due dynamic failure behavior mechanism unidirectional kenaf/glass composite compressive response examined. Therefore, both specimens loaded compressively under static loading at strain rate range 0.1/s 1700/s. The results showed that different loadings. Shear banding occurred 60 degrees composites. In contrast, fractured longitudinally along direction loading. Glass vulnerable damage microscopic analysis because they most loads. Consequently, less damaged than those composites, which had breakage, splitting, fiber-matrix debonding.
