Abstract

The paper approaches theoretical and experimental issues regarding the behavior at static bending due to irradiation of a new hybrid composite reinforced with glass and hemp fibers, used especially in automotives industry. The advantages of fibers-reinforced composites are given by their high optimization capability, so that the final material’s properties can be imposed according to a given application by choosing of a unique combination between matrix and fibers that lead to manufacturing of a light and ergonomic structure. A composite material may be subjected to radiations because it is part of a constituent material operating in an environment with radiations or can be subjected to radiations deliberately, in order to obtain higher properties of the material. In this second sense, the challenge is related to reach high static and dynamic structural performances by accomplishment of composite materials with enhanced properties that put as well value to the concept of composite structure..
