The mechanical properties and vibration damping characteristics of cross-ply laminates ([90°/0°/90°] and [0°/90°/0°]), [0°/45°/0°], four-layered angle ply laminate ([90°/0°]_s) and Quasi-isotropic laminates ([0°/90°/45°]_s, [0°/45°/90°]_s,) containing 50 ± 2 wt% of banana fibres in polyester matrix were investigated. The experimental results indicate that the tensile strength, Young’s modulus, impact strength, and the natural frequency were superior for [0°/90°/0°] laminates. In the case of flexural properties, the Quasi-isotropic laminates displayed better performance than the other configurations. Tensile fractured specimens were examined under a scanning electron microscope (SEM) to understand the difference in failure behavior due to the inter-ply orientation in the laminate.

四层交叉层压板（[90°/ 0°/ 90°]和[0°/ 90°/ 0°]），[0°/ 45°/ 0°]的机械性能和减振特性角层板层压板（[90°/ 0°] _s）和准各向同性层压板（[0°/ 90°/ 45°] _s，[0°/ 45°/ 90°] _s研究了在聚酯基体中含有50±2wt％的香蕉纤维的香蕉。实验结果表明，[0°/ 90°/ 0°]层压板的拉伸强度，杨氏模量，冲击强度和固有频率均优异。就弯曲性能而言，准各向同性层压板表现出比其他构型更好的性能。在扫描电子显微镜（SEM）下检查拉伸断裂的样品，以了解由于层压材料中层间取向而导致的破坏行为差异。
