Functionality and performance of natural fibers can be enhanced many folds using them together with synthetic fibers. Hybridization of carbon and low-cost natural jute fiber offers a sustainable hybrid composite having high modulus and mechanical strength. This study investigates flexural behavior of carbon/jute epoxy composites experimentally and numerically. Also, impact response is characterized through drop weight method. Study concludes that flexural strength decreases with increase in jute percentage. Simulation of flexural behavior diverges more than 10 from experimental results. This anomaly is due to waviness of fiber resulting in heterogeneous property distribution in composites. Further, the fracto-graphic study revealed modes of failure. The drop weight impact tests reveal increased damage area with increase in jute percentage. © 2019, KSME & Springer. date: 2019 publisher: Korean Society of Mechanical Engineers official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85072221159&doi=10.1007%2fs12206-019-0817-9&partnerID=40&md5=f02221971dc2a4974b19a6674a92bb23 id_number: 10.1007/s12206-019-0817-9 full_text_status: none publication: Journal of Mechanical Science and Technology volume: 33 number: 9 pagerange: 4217-4226 refereed: TRUE issn: 1738494X citation: Ali, A. and Nasir, M.A. and Khalid, M.Y. and Nauman, S. and Shaker, K. and Khushnood, S. and Altaf, K. and Zeeshan, M. and Hussain, A.
