This study investigates the effect of intra-laminar fibre hybridisation on the homogenised lamina properties and micro-stress fields, with an emphasis on natural and synthetic fibre combinations. A representative volume element (RVE) approach, considering random fibre distributions, is employed to study unidirectional flax/E-glass/epoxy composite l...
