Popis: | With the upcoming difficulties the need for environmental friendly, biodegradable material plays vital role in automotive and aero space applications. This necessitates to innovate new materials like composites and smart materials. In this paper, the Flax and Kenaf fibres are used as reinforcement to form hybrid composite. The tensile properties of hybrid composites are compared with single fibre composites. The result shows hybridization have more impact on enhanced tensile property. Hand layup technique is used in this work to prepare composite specimens. Fiber distributions,crack propagation and shearing styles analysed using the Scanning electron Microscope (SEM) images of the tested specimens. |
