Popis: Hybrid composite is a combination of natural fiber and synthetic fibers. Nowadays, polymer hybrid composites are extensively used in several engineering applications. Basalt fiber, because of its high tensile strength and modulus is considered with jute, as jute possess incredible antistatic properties forms a hybrid with polyester resin. In this proposed work polyester resin is used as a matrix, basalt and jute fibers are used as reinforcement to develop hybrid composites by Compression Molding Technique. The primary mechanical properties such as tensile strength, tensile modulus and compressive strength were experimentally found using universal testing machine in warp and weft direction where parameters are force, displacement, thickness, volume fraction of resin to fill the reinforcement. The relative significance are discussed by subjecting the developed hybrid polymer composite to dynamic behavior, the various parameters like mode shape, damping factor, frequency, acceleration and force are analyzed using Fast Fourier Transform analyzer experimentally and validated by using Lab-view software.
