Influence of moisture absorption on impact strength and failure behavior of Hybrid Jute-Carbon/Epoxy composite

Hybrid jute-carbon/ epoxy composites, fabricated by hand lay-up method with fiber volume fractions of 0.47, 0.58 and 0.68 were used to investigate water absorption behavior as a function of immersion time and fiber content. The effect of moisture content on impact strength and failure modes was als...
