Mechanical properties of hybrid fibre reinforced polymer-timber veneer laminates

Hybrid fibre reinforced polymer (FRP)-timber (HFT) thin-walled structural members made out of thin-timber veneer and composite laminates are a sustainable alternative to light-weight steel aluminium members. Preliminary studies on HFT structures have demonstrated the potential be used as high performing This study is aimed at investigating effect manufacturing pressure type mechanical properties laminates. Two different pressures three types FRPs were in investigation. Series experiments carried determine tensile, compressive, shear, flexural Best well use found dependent loads (membrane and/or flexural) applied laminate. Classical laminate theory was accurate calculating membrane laminate, but result significant inaccuracies when properties.
