Abstract |
|
The usage of hybrid natural composites has surged in almost all fields of engineering due to their advantage of possessing high strength to weight ratio and biodegradability. This paper deals with the fabrication and investigation of mechanical properties of hemp-ramie glass fiber reinforced epoxy composite which is relatively a newer hybrid composite. In this study, the composite is fabricated by a hand layup process with different fiber orientations and also with different volume fractions. The composites are prepared with three different proportions of hemp-ramie fibers. Various mechanical tests are conducted for the hybrid composite in which fibers are arranged at 450 inclination has better properties than the others |
