This paper presents flexural properties related to vibration behavior of jute reinforced polyester composite. The goal of the research is to seek green composite material that exhibits good strength and flexural properties along with good damping property designed for wind turbine blades. The material for reinforcement in the present study is jute fiber. The material for matrix is polyester resin. Glass and carbon fiber are used for hybridization. Specimens were fabricated by vacuum infusion technique. Laminates were constructed by stacking jute fiber clothes. Hybrid laminates were fabricated by stacking jute clothes covered by one ply glass cloth and jute clothes covered by one ply carbon cloth. Static flexural and free vibration tests were carried out to obtain the elastic modulus and vibration behavior of specimens, respectively. The result shows that the configuration of jute fiber cloth and glass fiber hybridized laminates possesses compromised properties between flexural properties and damping ratio. © 2017 Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.
