Mechanical Characterisation of Hybrid Composite

Hybrid composite materials have extensive engineering applications where strength to weight ratio, low cost and ease of fabrication are required. Hybrid composites provide combination of properties such as tensile modulus, compressive strength and impact strength which cannot be realized in conventional composite materials. In recent times hybrid composites have been established as highly efficient, high performance structural materials and their use is increasing rapidly. The monograph also provides the effect of individual fibers on its mechanical properties and optimum ply orientation for the hybrid composite by using AUTODESK software. Thus, this monograph should be an extremely useful preference document for the mechanical and material science engineers engaged in the hybrid composite synthesis and characterisation.
