Recently, high tensile fibres composite laminates (i.e. glass composite laminates) have been widely used in the civil and military applications due to their superior properties such as lightweight, fatigue and corrosion resistance compared to metals. Nevertheless, their brittle fracture behaviour is a real downside for many sectors. In the present study, the impact of the hybridisation of Kevlar woven layers with glass woven layers on the reducing the strain failure problem in pure glass woven laminates is investigated. In this work, multi-layers Kevlar-glass with different stacking sequences have been used to prepare the hybrid composite laminates using vacuum–assisted resin moulding method. The influence of the layers hybridisation on the mechanical performance of composites laminates was investigated using tensile strength tests. Furthermore, finite element analysis is performed to analyse the mechanical response of the hybrid composite laminates using Abaqus software. The elasti...
Characterization of In-Plane Mechanical Properties of Laminated Hybrid Composites
An experimental investigation was conducted to study the effect of hybrid composite specimen subjected to in-plane tensile and compressive loading. The laminated specimens in accordance with ASTM standards were fabricated using steel and nylon bi-directional mesh as reinforcements and polyester as the binder. The various volume fractions and fiber orientations were used in which the percentage of polyester (40%) was maintained constant. From the investigations it is revealed that, the specimens with higher percentage of steel sustain greater loads & also the strengths are superior in case of 0/90 0 oriented specimens. A relationship between the tensile/compressive strength, fiber content and orientation has been established.
Manufacturing and performance of hybrid fabric reinforcements and their composites
HAL (Le Centre pour la Communication Scientifique Directe), 2018
In this paper we present some recent results on our studies on fiber hybrid composites using carbon and glass fibers for novel applications in the field of wind energy, sports and leisure. The fabrics are manufactured from T700SC carbon fiber from Toray and 111A E-glass from Owens Corning while the composites using these fabrics are manufactured using RTM process with epoxy resin. Three hybridization strategies, namely, Interply, intraply and intermingled hybrids, and their mechanical behavior is planned to be investigated. The current work investigates tensile and flexural properties of intraply and interply hybrids. Although possessing a lower strength both in tensile and flexural loading the interply hybrids offer enhanced failure strain to the hybrid composites. Hence, the positive hybrid effect that is also been reported by several researchers for carbon and glass hybrids is actually higher for interply hybridized composites when compared to intraply hybridized ones. The interply hybrids demonstrate a drastic reduction in the strength and modulus properties both in tensile and flexural loading. The results also demonstrate that improved dispersion, leads to better mechanical performance in hybrid composites. Among the intraply hybrids, hybrid with three carbon and three glass tows blocked together demonstrates superior mechanical performance among all.
Elastic Behavior of Woven Fabric Composites: III -- Laminate Design
Journal of Composite Materials, 1992
Two-dimensional woven fabric composite models were developed for the elastic analysis of WF composites in Part I of this paper. The effect of undulation of yarn and fabric thickness on the elastic properties of woven fabric lamina was studied. The study was extended to woven fabric laminates and the effect of laminate configuration on the elastic properties was analyzed in Part II. In the present paper, the effect of gap between two adjacent yams on the elastic properties of woven fabric lamina and the effect of laminate configuration for different number of layers on the elastic properties of woven fabric laminates for different material systems are studied. An optimum gap between adjacent yarns gives higher Young's moduli, and it depends upon the fabric structure and material system. A basic building block is found which gives higher elastic properties than with any other configuration with the same number of layers. Such a basic building block can then be used for making thicker laminates. The comparison of woven fabric laminates with UD cross-ply laminates indicated that, in general, the material system with lower degree of orthotropy is desirable for woven fabric composites. KEY WORDS: woven fabric composite, laminate design, gap between adjacent yarns, laminate configuration, shift of lamina, basic building block, degree of orthotropy. distribution.
Textile structures have become quite popular as reinforcement materials in composite laminates due to their high impact-damage tolerance and energy absorption ability. The impact performance of textile composites is not only affected by the type of fiber/ matrix but also by the fabric structure used as reinforcement. The aim of this study was to compare the mechanical and ballistic performance of composite laminates reinforced with single-layer and double-layer interlocked woven fabrics. Kevlar V R 229 multifilament yarn was used for preparation of all the fabric structures and epoxy resin was used as the matrix system. The composites were produced using a hand lay-up method, followed by compression molding. The mechanical and ballistic performance of composites reinforced with single-layer and double-layer interlocked woven fabrics was investigated in this study. The energy absorption and mechanical failure behavior of composites during the impact event were found to be strongly affected by the weave design of the reinforcement. The composites reinforced with doublelayer interlocked woven fabrics were found to perform better than those comprising single-layer fabrics in terms of impact energy absorption and mechanical failure.

Through-the-Thickness Tensile Strength of Textile Composites
Composite Materials: Testing and Design: Twelfth Volume
A series of tests was run to characterize the through-the-thickness tensile strength for a variety of composites that included 2D and 3D braids, 2D and 3D weaves, and prepreg tapes, A new test method based on a curved beam was evaluated, The through-the-thickness deformations were characterized using moir_ interferometry. Failures were significantly different between the 2D and 3D materials. The 2D materials delaminated between layers due to out-of-plane tensile stresses. The strength of the 2D textile composites did not increase relative to the tapes. The 3D materials failed due to the formation of radial cracks caused by high circumferential stresses along the inner radius. A circumferential crack similar to the 2D materials produced the final failure. Final failure in the 3D materials occurred at a lower bending moment than in the other materials. The early failures were caused by radial crack formation rather than a low through-the-thickness strength.

The Effect of Stacking Sequence on Tensile Properties of Hybrid Composite Materials
Hybrid composite materials have found extensive applications in many areas such as in the medical field, aerospace, automobile and in the sport industry, between others. The effect of stacking sequence of glass/carbon fibers on the tensile behavior of the hybrid composites was investigated in this paper. Five groups of hybrid composite laminates were produced using various proportions of woven E-glass/carbon fibers reinforced epoxy matrix and subjected to tensile tests. The results showed that the hybrid laminations that consist of three layers of carbon and two layers of glass provided the best tensile properties. Group D showed the maximum force results (9255.7 N) and maximum tensile stress (382.7 Mpa). For three or less number of layers in the composites, when using carbon fiber layers more than glass fiber layers, the tensile strength was similar. Otherwise, the tensile load increased with increasing number of layers. Moreover, for the tensile force and the stress of the hybrid ...
Hybridization Effects on Bending and Interlaminar Shear Strength of Composite Laminates
Materials
Fiber-reinforced composites are gradually replacing the traditional materials in many engineering applications. However, for many applications these materials are still unsuitable, due to their lack of toughness. In this context, hybridization is a promising strategy in which two or more types of fiber are combined to obtain a better balance of mechanical properties compared to non-hybrid composites. Therefore, the main goal of this work is to study the hybridization effect on the static performance and interlaminar shear strength. For this purpose, carbon, glass, and Kevlar fibers were used and combined in different proportions. It was possible to conclude that there is an ideal value of fiber content to maximize both properties and, depending on the type of fiber, they should be placed specifically on the compression or tensile side. For example, for composites involving carbon and glass fibers the latter must be placed on the compression side, and for a value of 17% by weight the...

Natural and synthetic fibres have emerged in high demand due to their excellent properties. Natural fibres have good mechanical properties and are less expensive, making them a viable substitute for synthetic fibers. Owing to certain drawbacks such as their inconsistent quality and hydrophilic nature, researchers focused on incorporating these two fibres as an alternative to improve the limitations of the single fibre. This review focused on the interply hybridisation of natural and synthetic fibres into composites. Natural fibres and their classifications are discussed. The physical and mechanical properties of these hybrid composites have also been included. A full discussion of the mechanical properties of natural/synthetic fibre hybrid composites such as tensile, flexural, impact, and perforation resistance, as well as their failure modes, is highlighted. Furthermore, the applications and future directions of hybrid composites have been described in details.
