In recent years, the hybridization of natural fibers with synthetic fibers has received much attention. This paper conducted an experimental study on the tensile and flexural behavior of unidirectional carbon/flax fiber reinforced epoxy composites and single flax fibers. Four hybridization rates were considered for 16 reinforced layers in a symmetric staking sequence, with the carbon ply at the surface. The damage evolution under load increase was monitored using the acoustic emission (AE) technique. The Davies–Bouldin index and the K-means clustering algorithm were used to correlate the hybridization rates to the contribution of each damage mechanism to overall failure. AE monitoring of tensile and flexural behaviors showed that delamination and fiber breakage mechanisms dominate the composite failure, regardless of the hybridization rate. |
