Popis: Nowadays composite materials play a vital role in automotive and aerospace industries due to their important properties like high strength to weight ratio, biodegradability and ease of production. In this paper, compression and hardness properties of a hybrid composite made of manila and abaca fibers are evaluated. Hand layup process is used in this work. The result shows that hybrid composite possesses very high strength and hardness as compared to mono fibre composite.
