description ABSTRACT This study investigates the mechanical properties of hybrid composites reinforced with jute, kenaf, and glass fibers, incorporating Aluminum Oxide (Al2O3) as a nanoparticle filler. The effects of three key parameters—fiber orientation, fiber sequence, and weight percentage of Al2O3 on—the tensile and impact strength of the composites were examined. Three levels for each factor were considered: fiber orientation (0°, 45°, and 90°), fiber sequence (1, 2, and 3 layers), and varying Al2O3 content (3%, 4%, and 5%). The response surface methodology (RSM) was employed to optimize the parameters, providing insights into the interactions between these factors and their influence on the composite's mechanical performance. Additionally, artificial neural networks (ANN) were used for prediction modeling. The outcome presented that the ANN model outpaced RSM in terms of accuracy, with a higher correlation between predicted and experimental values. The optimal parameters for achieving the highest tensile and impact strength were determined, with fiber orientation at 90°, fiber sequence at 3, and Al2O3 content at 5%. This study demonstrates the effectiveness of ANN in predicting the mechanical properties of the laminated composite and highlights the significant role of fiber orientation, sequence, and nanoparticle reinforcement in enhancing composite performance.
