| 總結: | Investigation on the fatigue life of hybrid composites
is critical to extend their applications and acceptance
among industries; however, there is a lack of research
focus on fatigue performance of the hybrid composite. In
this study, the fatigue life of glass/kenaf woven-ply hybrid
composite with thermoplastic and thermoset polymer
matrix was investigated. Hybrid composites consist of
two different fibre configurations: kenaf/glass/kenaf and
glass/kenaf/glass. Thermoplastic hybrid composites were
manufactured through the hot press moulding compression
method, while thermoset hybrid composites were fabricated
through the vacuum-assisted resin infusion method.
The tensile strength and fatigue strengths of the kenaf/
glass/kenaf composite have been identified to be significantly
lower than those of the glass/kenaf/glass composite
regardless of the types of matrix used. However, thermoplastic-
based kenaf/glass/kenaf composites are less fatigue
sensitive compared to glass/kenaf/glass composites; however,
this phenomenon is vice versa for thermoset composites
due to the epoxy matrix, which limits the stiffening
effect in natural fibres. |
