In the present study, different stacking sequences on hybrid carbon/glass/epoxy composites laminate were examined in relation to thermal, dynamic mechanical and long-term behavior. A positive hybrid effect was found for both hybrid composites (interleaved-Hybrid 1 and in block-Hybrid 2) showing that in some cases hybrid composites can properly replace carbon or glass composites. The composite containing all glass fiber in the middle (Hybrid 2) presented similar thermal behavior when compared to glass fiber composite. All hybrid composites presented higher storage modulus when compared to glass composite. Dynamic mechanical analysis showed that both hybrids can satisfactorily perform the requirement in a wide temperature range. The long-term prediction was successfully applied for all composites, showing to be highly temperature-dependent. Hence, depending on the application requirement, both hybrids can be used, saving weight and cost.

Preparation epoxy based hybrid composites were involved kaolin geopolymer filler, organo-montmorillonite at 3phr by using high speed mechanical stirrer. A mechanical behaviour of neat epoxy, epoxy/organo-montmorillonite and its hybrid composites containing 1-8phr kaolin geopolymer filler was studied upon cyclic deformation (three-point flexion mode) as the temperature is varies. The analysis was determined by dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) at frequency of 1.0Hz. The results then expressed in storage modulus (E�), loss modulus (E�) and damping factor (tan d) as function of temperature from 40 oC to 130oC. Overall results indicated that E�, E�� and Tg increased considerably by incorporating optimum 1phr kaolin geopolymer in epoxy organo-montmorillonite hybrid composites.

In the present work, we study how to improve mechanical properties of carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP) in order to increase crashworthiness probability. Experimentally, hybrid carbon /glass fiber composite was made in order to get higher mechanical properties. As a results, with increasing carbon fiber volume fraction (% vol.), tensile strength and flexural strength of the composite are increased. Simulation of impact testing is also performed using data properties taken from the experiment with variation of impact forces on front bumper structure. By varying external load to the bumper, the result shows that higher thickness of hybrid carbon/glass fiber composite has always smaller stress values than thinner one. On the other hand, the displacement of hybrid carbon/glass car bumper increases linearly with increasing external load.

In order characterize the outstanding performance of the three dimensional (3D) hybrid composites, the charpy and flexural test has been carried out. 3D fiber structures have been achieved by using hand lay-up process and machine stitching method. Materials for hand lay-up and machine stitching process were glass fiber, jute fiber, and epoxy resin and nylon fiber respectively. Two dimensional (2D) glass fiber composite and 2D hybrid composite with the same stacking sequence as three dimensional (3D) counterparts have also been fabricated for the comparison of impact and flexural strength. The impact strength of 3D hybrid composite was increased (5-10%) compared with that 2D glass fiber and 2D hybrid composites. The flexural strength and modulus of 3D hybrid composite were increased (5-10%) compared with that of 2D hybrid composites.

The aim of present experimental investigation is to compare the mechanical properties of Sisal, jute and kenaf fiber reinforced with glass fiber in polyester matrix hybrid composites. Hybrid composites were fabricated by hand lay-up technique. The tensile, flexural and impact tests were carried out on different composite samples as per the ASTM standards. It was observed that the tensile strength of jute/glass fiber composite is 1.94 and 1.59 times more than that of sisal/glass and kenaf/glass composites, respectively. The flexural load carrying capacity of sisal/glass composite is 3.4 and 2.83 times greater than those of jute/glass and kenaf/glass composites, respectively. Also, it can be seen that impact strength of jute/glass composite is almost equal to that of kenaf/glass composite and 1.13 times more than that of sisal/glass composite.

This work aims to characterize the influence of hygrothermal conditioning on the mechanical and thermal behavior as well as the fractographic aspects of the interface of poly(ether imide) and glass fiber composite joints welded by electrical resistance using 400 mesh of AISI 304 stainless steel. The composites were mechanically characterized by Lap Shear Strength (LSS) and End Notched Flexure (ENF) testing to investigate maximum shear stress and energy from mode II interlaminar fracture toughness. Fractography was performed by SEM, while the influence on glass transition temperature and working temperature were evaluated by Dynamic-Mechanical Analysis and thermogravimetry. In the conditioned samples, the mechanical properties reduced 23% in the LSS test and 28% in the ENF test, while the fractography studies revealed elements of interlaminar and intralaminar fracture in both conditions. Thermal properties did not change significantly to disqualify this composite when applied to welding.

In order to study the performance of the bamboo fiber composites prepared by filament winding, composites reinforced with jute fiber and glass fiber were used as control samples. The structure and mechanical properties of the composites were investigated by scanning electric microscope (SEM), tensile testing, bending testing, and dynamic mechanical analysis. The results demonstrated that the bamboo fiber composites exhibited lower density (0.974 g/cm3) and mechanical properties in comparison of to fiber composite and glass fiber composite, because the inner tissue structure of bamboo fiber was preserved without resin adsorbed into the cell cavity of fibrous parenchyma. The bamboo fibers in composites were pulled out, while the fibers in the surface of composites were torn, resulting in the lowest mechanical performance of bamboo fiber composites. The glass transition temperature of twisting bamboo fiber Naval Ordnance Laboratory (TBF-NOL) composite (165.89 °C) was the highest in general, which indicated that the TBF circumferential composite had the best plasticizing properties and better elasticity, the reason being that the fiber-reinforced epoxy circumferential composite interface joint is a physical connection, which restricts the movement of the molecular chain of the epoxy matrix, making the composite have a higher storage modulus (6000 MPa). In addition, The TBF-NOL had the least frequency dependence, and the circumferential composite prepared by TBF had the least performance variability. Therefore, the surface and internal structures of the bamboo fiber should be further processed and improved by decreasing the twisting bamboo fiber (TBF) diameter and increasing the specific surface area of the TBF and joint surface between fibers and resin, to improve the comprehensive properties of bamboo fiber composites.
