Abstract: The natural fibers have the good properties such as mechanical and physical than artificial fibers in a many cases during the fabrication of composite materials that are used in many engineering applications. Also hybridization of fibers leads to impotent of mechanical properties these composites used in interior of aerospace vehicles, automobiles bumpers, decorative items, window panels, interior paneling, etc. where application pf load is very less. This research work is concentrated on the evolution of hybrid composite of Jute/E-glass reinforced with matrix epoxy using Hand layup method. Laminated composites specimens are prepared by calculating the required number of fiber layers and quantity of matrix based on the different volume fraction. The testing specimens are prepared for Tensile and Bending test as per standard of ASTM. The Universal Testing Machine is used to conducted Tensile and Bending test and results are plotted the graphs.

Keywords: Natural Fiber, Jute, E-Glass, UTM, Hybrid Composites, Mechanical Properties, Epoxy.
