The main objective of the present paper is to study the water absorption of jute–glass–carbon-reinforced epoxy composites and its subsequent effect on the in-plane shear performance of these composites. The effects of the reinforcement hybridization, stacking sequence and relative fabric amounts on the shear behavior of dry and wet conditioned composite specimens are reported and discussed. Composites have been fabricated in inter-ply configuration using the hand lay-up process. The prepared specimens have been subjected to distilled water and sea water immersion at room temperature for 60 days. Results indicated that water uptake of jute-reinforced composite and its hybrids with glass and/or carbon follows Fickian-like behavior. Water uptake induces a significant decrease in the in-plane shear strength. Hybridizing jute fabric with glass and/or carbon fabrics improves the in-plane shear properties of both dry and wet specimens. The stacking sequence and relative fabric amounts have a noticeable effect on the studied shear properties. Also, the hybrid composite with jute as facings and glass as core, JGJ, offers the most balanced set of properties on a cost-effective basis compared to the other studied hybrids.

Abstract A research project has been conducted to develop structural laminated veneer lumber products from tropical wood, and to evaluate their feasibility for the structural components of wooden houses. As part of this project, we investigated the flexural, in-plane shear, and nail shear properties of laminated veneer board (LVB) manufactured from a combination of falcataria (Paraserianthes falcataria) and rubberwood (Hevea brasiliensis) for flooring applications. In addition, 11-ply larch (Larix leptolepis) and 7-ply radiata pine (Pinus radiata) plywood were investigated as controls. Larch plywood, bonded with phenol-based adhesive, showed the best strength properties in bending and shear tests, whereas the 12-ply (28 mm thick) resorcinol-based resin-bonded LVB had the highest ductility in nail shear. The LVB also had better bending and shear properties than radiata pine plywood. In conclusion, falcataria-rubberwood LVB demonstrated good potential to substitute larch plywood and radiata pine plywood in flooring applications.

The shear properties of different simple-shear sheet specimens were investigated using the elastic-plastic finite element method. Tension loaded specimens with a shear zone formed at the center area between two transverse slots were adopted to analyze the shear properties of sheet metals under uniaxial tension. Specimens prepared by single material as well as by bonding two different strength materials together were both studied. Since the shear zone could not be kept free from bending stress during loading, the pure shear deformation was not possibly obtained. However, by varying the shape and the location of the slots, an optimum geometry of the shear zone which yields a nearly pure shear deformation in the plastic range was determined through the finite element analysis. The results also revealed when the shear zone was formed by a low strength material which was bonded on each side with a higher strength material, a nearly pure shear deformation could be obtained even in the elastic range.
