Using a hand lay-up technique, the FML plates were first manufactured with an average thickness of 3.5 mm. Then, the plates were trimmed into various specimen sizes using an electric saw. It is worth ...

This paper presents a research undertaking on the mechanical performance of hemp fibre reinforced epoxy composites with special attention to tensile, flexural and impact behavior. The hand lay-up ...

These developments mark a transition beyond traditional hand lay-up techniques, positioning natural fibres as credible, ...
