Problems Associated with Fiber Blending
There are several aspects that make hybrid structures
much more difficult to analyze. In hybrid
yarns, in which two different types of fibers are
blended together to form a system, the differences
in their contributions toward the overall behavior
of the structure, because of the diverse mechanical
properties of the constituent fibers, have to be

considered. Secondly, the interaction between the
two constituents will alter the nature of yarn
behavior, especially during fracture. Inclusion of
this interaction into analysis has proven to be
very challenging
