TL;DR: In this article, the tensile and impact properties of hybrid kenaf/glass reinforced metal laminates (FMLs) with different fiber orientations and stacking configurations were investigated, and it was shown that the hybrid FMLs incorporated with a fiber stacking sequence of glass/kenaf /glass showed superior characteristic in tensile performance.

TL;DR: In this article, the mechanical properties of composite materials with different types of natural fibre and various fibre compositions were investigated, and the results demonstrated that the tensile strength and flexural strength of pineapple leaf fibre (PALF)-based composites were 7.83% and 54.23% higher than kenaf-based composite materials at a fibre content of 30.

TL;DR: In this paper, the static and dynamic properties of hybrid kenaf/glass reinforced composites were investigated and the results showed that the incorporation of glass fibre in the laminates improved the overall properties of the materials.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of kenaf fabric layers, fiber orientations and chemical treatment on the tensile responses of thermoplastic fiber metal laminates were investigated, and the results revealed that the number of layers has a major contribution to the strength and modulus.

TL;DR: In this paper, the density and tension-tension fatigue performances of thermoplastic-based fiber metal laminate structures with different hybrid layups are investigated. And the results show that a hybrid laminate system with kenaf/glass/kenaf composite construction had better performance than other layups.
