Mechanical and viscoelastic behavior characterization of hybrid aluminum/carbon fiber/pineapple leaf fiber composite via VARTM for automotive industry

Hybridizing natural and synthetic fibers is thought to be an alternate technique for achieving the desired balance between the mechanical performance and sustainability of fiber metal laminates (FMLs). The aluminum (Al)/pineapple leaf fiber (PALF)/carbon fiber (CF) reinforced epoxy composites with f...
