Experimental and numerical characterization of mechanical properties of carbon/jute fabric reinforced epoxy hybrid composites

Natural fiber composites have great potential for reducing the product cost, lowering weight and enhancing renewability. Functionality and performance of natural fibers can be enhanced many folds using them together with synthetic fibers. Hybridization of carbon and low-cost natural jute fiber offer...
