Abstract In this study, non-hybrid and hybrid (Kevlar, carbon glass) fabric epoxy composite laminates were fabricated with different stacking sequences by hand lay-up followed hot-compression molding. Experimental tests conducted to investigate tensile, flexural, hardness characteristics. It was found that the sequence did not significantly affect tensile strength values of composites; however,...

this article gives an approach to predict the springbackward phenomena during post solidification cooling in a functionally graded hybrid composite cylindrical shell with transverse isotropic structure. here the material properties are considered to be given with a general parabolic power-law function. during theoretical analysis, appropriate transform is introduced in the equilibrium equation ...

The present investigation focuses on developing cost-effective Carbon/Glass/Kevlar fiber-reinforced polymer hybrid composite laminates for achieving its synergistic effect flexural and impact performance. It investigates the of stacking sequence induced by use different fiber types (Kevlar = K, glass G, carbon C) performance composites. Five composites (labelled as A [G2K3G2], B [KG2CG2K], C [C...

Hybrid polymer composites reinforced with synthetic and natural fibers are gaining more interest in current composite technology an effort to promote sustainability without sacrificing the performance of fiber composites. The goal this study is see how stacking sequence carbon ramie fiber, as well orientation affects quasi-static indentation behaviour carbon/ramie epoxy hybrid specimens were ma...

Textile composites describe a broad range of polymer composite materials with textile reinforcements, from woven and non-crimp commodity fabrics to three dimensional textiles. In a general manner textile composites are based on textile preforms manufactured by some textile processing technique and on some resin infiltration and consolidation technique. Due to the complex three-dimensional struc...

In current years composites have concerned considerable importance as a potential operational material. Low cost, light weights, high specific modulus, renewability, and biodegradability are the most basic & common attractive features of composites that make them useful for industrial applications. Luffacylindrical locally called as “sponge-gourd” is one such natural resource whose potential as...

This paper reviews recent research on cement based composites design for damage tolerance. Specific focus is placed on the influence of fiber and interface properties on the complementary energy of the composite crack bridging behavior, which in turn governs the mechanics of composite fracture. The theoretical concepts are illustrated with examples of highly damage tolerant cement based composi...

Recent advances of interfacial micromechanics in fiber reinforced composites using micro-Raman spectroscopy are given. The faced mechanical problems for interface design in fibrous composites are elaborated from three optimization ways: material, interface, and computation. Some reasons are depicted that the interfacial evaluation methods are difficult to guarantee the integrity, repeatability,...
