Abstract
Composite is one of the substances that, during the course of their life cycle,
have been put through a range of mechanical stresses and been subjected to harsh
climatic conditions. Genarally, there are three type composite in the industries which
is natural composite, synthetic composite and hybrid composite. Kenaf/glass hybrid
composite is the type of material which will be futher study in this project.
Both naturally occurring fibres and manufactured fibres may be used to
strengthen composite materials, each of which comes with their own set of benefits
and drawbacks. In order to enhance the qualities of the composite material, the hybrid
composite was developed and implemented. However, there has only been a very
limited amount of research done on how hybrid natural composites behave when
subjected to impact loading. The study about the composite was done by using Abaqus
2021 software which used to imitate the testing system that is widely used in the
industries which is SHPB test. Several journal has been study to find out suitable
parameter and setting to be used along the simulation process. before proceeding with
simulation, the model of specimen was created by using Solidwoks 2019.
Based on the finding from the simulation, stress propagation, stress distribution
and failure mode occur in the simulation can be observed. Glass fiber is the component
wear its bear most of the load which is come from the impact of the striker bar. The
deformation of the fiber also can be seen at the edge of the matrix.
