Fatigue Life Behaviour of Glass/Kenaf Woven-Ply Polymer Hybrid Biocomposites

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 w...
