Analysis of Mechanical Properties of Natural Fibers Reinforced Hybrid Composites: A Review

Umang Kaushik, Sono Bhardawaj, Amit Gupta

Abstract


Use of Fiber Reinforced Polymer Composites (FRPC) in the aerospace, defence, and space industries
has been steadily increasing in recent years but the significance of their machining processes has
unavoidably come to the foreground. Our understanding of machining FPRC doesn't appear to be
sufficiently developed enough to be used in all of its diverse domains of applications. Material
characteristics and theoretical mechanics are therefore very important in the related research area. To
achieve fully automated, large-scale manufacturing cycles, cost-effective production procedures are
crucial. Even though FPRCs are often moulded, some degree of machining is required to produce close

fits, tight tolerances, and close-to-net shape. Unfortunately, because they are anisotropic and non-
homogeneous, FPRCs frequently experience severe issues during the machining process, including

fibre pull-out, delamination, burning, and similar issues. The crucial distinction between machining
composite materials and other frequently used metals and their alloys is this one.
