Experimental Investigation of In-Plane Mechanical Performance of Carbon/Glass Hybrid Woven Composite

Article Preview

Abstract:

Woven composites have been increasingly employed in engineering applications. For effective use of woven composites in engineering applications, it is essential to fully understand the mechanical behavior. In the present study, both tensile and compressive behavior of a carbon/glass hybrid woven composite manufactured by vacuum infusion process was experimentally investigated under in-plane quasi-static loading. The experiments were performed at both the axial and off-axial directions. The results indicated that the in-plane mechanical performance of the studied composite was highly directional dependent and tension/compression asymmetric.
