Flexural and tensile moduli of unidirectional hybrid epoxy composites reinforced by S-2 glass and T700S carbon fibres

Effect of stacking sequence on the flexural properties of carbon and glass fibre-reinforced hybrid composites

“…positive hybrid effect. Dong et al [7,9,10] further investigated optimal design of hybrid composites and concluded that the fibre volume fraction of the glass/epoxy section needed to be higher than that of the carbon/epoxy section in order to achieve positive hybrid effects [7,9]. Kalantari et al [26] investigated the influence of stacking sequence on the flexural strength of carbon/glass fibre-reinforced hybrid composites and concluded that a positive hybrid effect could be achieved for both unidirectional and bidirectional carbon/glass fibre-reinforced epoxy hybrid composites.…”

Flexural strength of bidirectional hybrid epoxy composites reinforced by E glass and T700S carbon fibres

“…positive hybrid effect. Dong et al [15][16][17] further investigated optimal design of hybrid composites. It is concluded that the fibre volume fraction of the glass/epoxy section needs to be higher than that of the carbon/epoxy section in order to achieve positive hybrid effects [15,16].…”

Deformation behavior of woven glass/epoxy composite substrate under thermo-mechanical loading

“…The individual thermal and mechanical effects on woven glass/epoxy composite have been explored extensively in literatures [19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28]. Ray [19] evaluated the deleterious effect of temperature on shear strength of glass/epoxy composites during hygrothermal aging, and found that higher temperature not only increased the moisture uptake rate but also stimulated the delamination nucleation.…”

“…Ray [19] evaluated the deleterious effect of temperature on shear strength of glass/epoxy composites during hygrothermal aging, and found that higher temperature not only increased the moisture uptake rate but also stimulated the delamination nucleation. Dong and Davies [20] employed finite element analysis and classic lamination theory to model the flexural behavior of S-2 glass fiber reinforced composites, and analyzed the effect of fiber volume fractions, hybrid ratio and span-to-depth ratio with the aid of the model. Reis et al [21] conducted a series of tensile tests of glass fiber reinforced polyurethane at different strain rates, and proposed a one-dimensional viscoelastic phenomenological damage model to describe the strain rate sensitivity of the material.…”
