Failure of Hemp Fiber Reinforced Composite Laminates

Here, we conduct micro (Figure 1) and macro (Figure 2) stiffness and failure analyses of hemp fiber reinforced composite laminates. Stacking sequence with 0, (0/90)s and (0/90/+45)s laminates are selected. Based upon micromechanical models of predicting effective properties of composite ply and laminates, we have used N Directional Stiffness AND Strength (NDSANDS) module and Composite Laminate Analysis Program (CLAP) module of the Automated System for Composite Analysis (ASCA) [Soni, 1994]. Effective properties of at least 3 cases of hemp fiber reinforced composite laminates are calculated using constituent properties [Bhoopati and Suresh 2019]. A set of hemp reinforced composite laminates, will be considered for conducting relevant stiffness and failure analysis by using quadratic polynomial failure theory [Tsai-Wu, 1985].
