The idealization of making a hybrid composite reinforced with vegetable fibers licuri with synthetic fibers is a pioneer in this area. Thus was conceived a hybrid composite laminate consisting of 05 (five) layers being 03 (three) webs of synthetic fibers of glass and E-02 (two) unidirectional fabrics of vegetable fibers licuri. In the configuration of the laminate layers have alternating distribution. The composite laminate was manufactured in Tecniplas Commerce & Industry LTD, in the form of a card through the manufacturing process of hand lay up. Licuri fibers used in making the foil were the City of Mare Island in the state of Bahia. After cooking and the idealization of the hybrid composite laminate, the objective of this research work has focused on evaluating the performance of the mechanical properties (ultimate strength, stiffness and elongation at break) through uniaxial tensile tests and three point bending. Comparative studies of the mechanical properties and as well as among other types of laminated hybrid composites studied previously, were performed. Promising results were found with respect to the mechanical properties of strength and stiffness to the hybridization process idealized here. To complement the entire study were analyzed in terms of macroscopic and microscopic characteristics of the fracture for all tests. / O presente trabalho de investiga??o baseia-se na busca de refor?os vegetais alternativos aos comp?sitos polim?ricos. A idealiza??o de confeccionar um comp?sito h?brido com refor?o de fibras vegetais de licuri com as fibras sint?ticas ? pioneira nessa ?rea. Para tanto foi idealizado um laminado comp?sito hibrido constitu?do de 05 (cinco) camadas sendo 03 (tr?s) de mantas de fibras sint?ticas de vidro-E e 02 (duas) de tecidos unidirecionais de fibras vegetais de licuri. Na configura??o do laminado as camadas possuem distribui??o alternada. O laminado comp?sito foi fabricado, industrialmente, na forma de uma placa, atrav?s do processo de fabrica??o de lamina??o manual (hand lay up). As fibras de licuri utilizadas para a confec??o do laminado foram da cidade de Ilha de Mar? no estado da Bahia. Ap?s a idealiza??o e confec??o do laminado comp?sito h?brido, o objetivo desse trabalho de investiga??o se concentrou em avaliar o desempenho das propriedades mec?nicas (resist?ncia ?ltima, rigidez e deforma??o na ruptura), atrav?s dos ensaios de tra??o uniaxial e flex?o de tr?s pontos. Estudos comparativos entre as propriedades mec?nicas obtidas, bem como entre outros tipos de laminados comp?sitos h?bridos j? estudados, foram realizados. Resultados promissores foram encontrados com rela??o ?s propriedades mec?nicas de resist?ncia e rigidez para esse processo de hibridiza??o aqui idealizado. Para complementa??o de todo o estudo foram realizadas an?lises macrosc?picas e microsc?picas das caracter?sticas da fratura para todos os ensaios.

This way, the purpose of this dissertation is a study of the mechanical response (strength and stiffness), modes (characteristics) of fracture and Residual Strength of an hybrid polymeric composite with and without a geometric discontinuity in its longitudinal section (with a reduction in the cross section) loaded by uniaxial tension. This geometric discontinuity is characterized by central holes of different diameters. The hybrid composite was fabricated as laminate (plate) and consisting of ortho-tereftalic polyester matrix reinforced by 04 outer layers of Jute fibers bidirectional fabrics and 01 central layer of E-glass bidirectional fabric. The laminate was industrially manufactured (Tecniplas Nordeste Ind?stria e Com?rcio Ltda.), obtained by the hand lay-up technique. Initially, a study of the volumetric density of the laminate was made in order to verify its use in lightweight structures. Also were performed comparative studies on the mechanical properties and fracture modes under the conditions of the specimens without the central hole and with the different holes. For evaluating the possible influence of the holes in the structural stability of the laminate, the Residual Strength of the composite was determined for each case of variation in hole diameter. As a complementary study, analyses of the macroscopic final fracture characteristic of the laminates were developed. The presence of the central hole of any sizes, negatively changed the ultimate tensile strength. Regarding the elastic modulus, moreover, the difference found between the specimens was within the range of tests displacement, showing the laminate stability related to the stiffness / A crescente demanda na utiliza??o dos materiais comp?sitos h?bridos torna imprescind?vel uma melhor compreens?o do seu comportamento frente ?s mais diversas condi??es de projeto, como a presen?a de descontinuidades geom?tricas nos elementos estruturais. Nesse sentido, a proposta desta disserta??o ? um estudo envolvendo a resposta mec?nica (resist?ncia e rigidez), os modos (caracter?sticas) da fratura e Resist?ncia Residual de um laminado comp?sito h?brido de matriz polim?rica com e sem presen?a de descontinuidade geom?trica em sua se??o longitudinal (com redu??o da se??o transversal), sob a a??o de tra??o uniaxial. Essa descontinuidade geom?trica ? caracterizada por furos centrais de diferentes di?metros. O laminado comp?sito h?brido foi confeccionado na forma de placa e composto por matriz poli?ster orto-tereft?lica refor?ada por 04 camadas externas de tecidos bidirecionais de fibras de juta e 01 camada central de tecidos bidirecionais de fibras de vidro-E. O laminado foi fabricado industrialmente (Tecniplas Nordeste Ind?stria e Com?rcio Ltda.), obtido atrav?s do processo de lamina??o manual (hand lay-up). Inicialmente, foi feito um estudo da densidade volum?trica do laminado, de modo a comprovar sua aplica??o em estruturas leves. Foram realizados estudos comparativos entre as propriedades mec?nicas nas condi??es dos corpos de prova sem o furo e com os diferentes di?metros do furo. Para a avalia??o de poss?vel influ?ncia da presen?a dos furos centrais na estabilidade estrutural do laminado, a Resist?ncia Residual foi determinada para cada caso de varia??o do di?metro do furo. Como estudo complementar, an?lises macrosc?picas da caracter?stica de fratura final dos laminados foram desenvolvidas. A presen?a do furo central, independente do di?metro, influiu de forma danosa, principalmente na resist?ncia ?ltima ? tra??o. Quanto ao m?dulo de elasticidade, por outro lado, a diferen?a encontrada entre os corpos de prova apresentou-se dentro da faixa da dispers?o dos ensaios, mostrando estabilidade com rela??o ? rigidez do laminado
