Abstract:This study deals with the development of interlayer hybrid composites with improved low-velocity impact response. In the composites produced using the hand lay-up technique, glass, carbon, and Kevlar woven fabrics were used as reinforcement materials and epoxy resin was used as the matrix material. Shear thickening fluid (STF) was impregnated into the fabric for enhancing their performance. The effect of hybridization with different stacking sequences and the impregnation of STF on the peak load, deflection at… Show more
