In the recent years with greater emphasis on the environmental and sustainability aspects of
engineering materials, natural fiber reinforced composites (NFRCs) are gaining more …

The drilling of natural fiber-reinforced polymer composites (NFRCs) and their hybrid
composites is a critical machining operation, which becomes vital to facilitate parts …

The advent of natural fibre as reinforcement material for polymer composites has gained
much attention in recent years. Since composite materials made of natural fibres exhibited …

Basalt fiber composites have attracted increasing attention in recent years due to their
advantages over carbon fiber composites in many aspects such as lower cost …

In this study, the effects of stress concentration on the tensile properties of a 3D printed
carbon fiber-nylon composite were investigated. The samples were 3D printed with …

The great advantages of hybrid composite materials reside in the synergistic effect of their
constituent materials and that make them very attractive for advanced applications …

This study examines empirically and theoretically the open-hole tension and compression
characteristics of thermoset composites using hybrid glass/polypropylene and glass/innegra …

This review highlights the influence of parameters on the drilling characteristics of
biocomposites including natural fibers. The particular structure of natural fibers, including …

This paper investigates the effects of thermal cycling on mechanical degradation of polymer
matrix composites (PMCs). Un-notched and open-hole specimens are tested using …

The main objective of the present study is to implement a functionally graded materials
(FGM) technique to reduce the hole effect in fiber reinforcement polymers. The tensile and …
