Abstract EN
The paper discusses the mechanical and physical behaviour of hybrid glass fibre reinforced plastic (GFRP).
Hybrid GFRP was fabricated by three different types of glass fibre, namely, 3D, woven, and chopped, which were selected and combined with mixture of polyester resin and hardener.
The hybrid GFRP was investigated by varying three parameters which were the composite volume fractions, hybrid GFRP arrangement, and single type fibre.
The hybrid GFRP was fabricated by using open mould hand lay-up technique.
Mechanical testing was conducted by tensile test for strength and stiffness whereas physical testing was performed using water absorption and hardness.
These tests were carried out to determine the effect of mechanical and physical behaviour over the hybrid GFRP.
The highest volume fraction of 0.5 gives the highest strength and stiffness of 73 MPa and 821 MPa, respectively.
Varying hybrid fibre arrangement which is the arrangement of chopped-woven-3D-woven-chopped showed the best value in strength of 66.2 MPa.
The stiffness is best at arrangement of woven-chopped-woven-chopped-woven at 690 MPa.
This arrangement also showed the lowest water absorption of 4.5%.
Comparing the single fibre type, woven had overtaken the others in terms of both mechanical and physical properties.
