Recent trends in material’s world are focusing on convenient use of natural fiber reinforced hybrid composites for many medium to low strength components of various industrial, automotive and domestic applications. In this work, Single Edge Notch Tensile (SENT) tests were conducted to study the effect of fiber volume fraction, notch size, and fiber orientation on tensile strength of jute natural hybrid composite specimens. The laminated specimens in accordance with ASTM D3039 standards were fabricated using glass, jute bi-directional mesh as reinforcements and epoxy resin as the binder. The various fiber volume fractions (15:45, 30:30, and 45:15), notch size (2, 4 and 6mm) and fiber orientations (0°/90°, ±45°) were used in which the percentage of epoxy resin (40%) was maintained constant. From the investigations it is revealed that, the specimens with higher percentage of glass fiber and 0°/90° fiber orientation exhibit higher Tensile Strength. The tensile strength increased with the increase in glass fiber volume fraction and decreased with increase in notch size. Also, the tensile strengths were superior in 0°/90° fiber orientation than those with ±45°fiber orientation.
