In fiber metal laminates (FMLs), the order in which fibers with different natural properties are
stacked is very important for making materials that absorb vibrations and have good …

To address the weight, cost, and sustainability associated with fibreglass application in
structural composites, plant fibres serve as an alternative to reduce and replace the usage of …

Multifunctionality of composites has gained popularity, primarily through the hybridization of
polymer composites for augmented performance. In this case, hybridization is ensured by …

Kenaf fibre possesses excellent tensile strength and elongation at break and is suitable to
replace synthetic fibres as reinforcing materials in FRPs composites. This research is aimed …

Sandwich laminates are particularly important in the early stages of structural design due to
their excellent mechanical, energy absorption, and other structural properties. High-strength …

Flax fibers are mainly oriented to their use in handicrafts, furniture, decorations, carpets.
However, in recent years, these fibers have been directed towards other industrialized …

The major aim of this study is to find an alternative material that can replace existing
synthetic fibers to mitigate environmental depletion while offering low cost, high availability …

In order to address the issues of weight, cost and sustainability issues associated with the
application of glass fibre in structural composites, plant fibres are proposed as an alternative …

Concrete elements such as slabs, footings and some types of beams are usually designed
without web reinforcement, meaning that the shear force must be resisted by concrete only …
