Experimental investigation of the tensile and modal properties of epoxy based symmetric interlayer glass/carbon hybrid composites

Abstract Interlayer hybrid composites can be tailored for enhanced strength and stiffness. Research on enhancing the mechanical properties of is being explored by varying fiber orientations, layup sequence, different type materials. The objective this work to investigate effect stacking sequence high modulus carbon fibers tensile modal symmetric glass/carbon interlayer composite. were fabricated using hand technique. Tensile evaluated as per ASTM 3039 standard. Experimental analysis was carried out two boundary conditions (Free-Free Cantilever). such natural frequency, mode shapes damping studied. results show that hybridizations low along with their about neutral axis laminate have significant influence properties. hybridization technique offers potential provide better in design high-performance composites.
