Structural Performance of Hybrid Fiber–Metal Laminates Reinforced With Natural and Synthetic Fibers: Tensile, Dynamic–Mechanical, and Residual Stress Behavior

Polymer Composites, EarlyView.
Hybrid fiber‐metal laminates combining aluminum with carbon, glass, and sisal/epoxy layers. Sisal fibers maintained strength, improved strain and thermal stability, and reduced residual stresses with less synthetic fiber. ABSTRACT This work studied how hybridization between natural and synthetic fibers influences the structural tensile performance ...
