Abstract

Abstract: Light-weight structure using advanced material and novel design is one of the keys to design the new generation mechanical applications. The requirement of high strength to weight ratio and the ability to withstand most of the working condition is imperative leading to use of composite materials. Composite materials are two or more materials combined at macroscopic scale to form useful third material. Glass fibre is one of the renowned materials having numerous applications like building automobile bodies, thermal and electrical insulation and various sports goods. But it cannot be used for applications requiring high strength which can be overcome by using costly materials like Carbon and Kevlar fibre having high strength. To ensure low cost of using fibre-reinforced materials in various applications, it is sensible to combine various fibres with Glass fibres to form hybrid composite which will give desired strength for the required application. Many hybrid composites having Glass and other material like Carbon, Hemp and Jute fibre have been tested for their mechanical properties, now a new trend of research focusing on the mechanical properties of Glass- Kevlar hybrid composite has started as many applications are available which can utilize the combination of Glass and Kevlar hybrid composite. This paper is a survey of the research work carried out on Glass fibre based hybrid composite. It contains the research data on the mechanical properties of the hybrid composites. Most of the data available in this literature concerns Glass fibre hybrid composite.
