Tensile strength of notched woven fabric hybrid glass, carbon/epoxy composite laminates

This study investigates the effect of hybridization on tensile strength of woven fabric glass/epoxy composite laminates with two different notch sizes of 5 mm and 10 mm. Tensile tests are performed on notched [0°/90°]3s specimens of woven fabric C-glass/epoxy composite laminates and their hybrid rei...

Description
Summary:This study investigates the effect of hybridization on tensile strength of woven fabric glass/epoxy composite laminates with two different notch sizes of 5 mm and 10 mm. Tensile tests are performed on notched [0°/90°]3s specimens of woven fabric C-glass/epoxy composite laminates and their hybrid reinforced with woven fabric 3K-carbon layers in order to measure tensile strength and characterize damage mechanisms. The results suggest that hybridization has a considerable effect on the improvement of the tensile strength of C-glass/epoxy composite laminates but also has reduced the rupture strain of the composites. Microscopic observation of specimens after tensile loading reveals the existence of transverse and longitudinal cracks, delamination and transverse fiber damage in hybrid composite laminates.
