Hybrid Carbon/Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer; A Frontier Material for Aerospace Industry : A Review on Mechanical Properties Enhancement

Abstract

Composite is the combination of two or more materials that differ in properties and composition to form unique properties. This paper reported in the literature on the field of deformation of hybrid composite under tensile, shear and flexural loading are presented in this chapter. This article review provides insight and state of the art for mechanics of composites that provides underlying theory for understanding the deformation and behaviour for the hybrid composite under various loading conditions. This paper also discusses mechanical behaviour of hybrid composites under static loading (Tensile, Shear, Flexural). It is essential to understand the principle that governs the mechanics of composites of laminate under loading which also applicable to hybrid composites C/GFRP.The high modulus fibre, such as Carbon fibre offers stiffness and load bearing capabilities, whereas the low modulus fibre, such as glass fibre makes the composite more durable and low in cost

Flexural failure properties of fiber-reinforced hybrid laminated beam subject to three-point bending

“…For example, a high-modulus carbon fiber is required to develop aerospace components, but the catastrophic brittle failure that is usually associated with such a material would be unacceptable. This type of behavior can be optimized by combining different fibers with suitable physical characteristics in a single resin system 17 , 18 . Additionally, the hybridization of carbon and glass fiber can improve the failure limit and minimize the weight of the composite structures, which can offer an attractive design option for the industry 19 – 21 .…”

Continuous Fiber-Reinforced Material Extrusion with Hybrid Composites of Carbon and Aramid Fibers

“…Research in the field of conventional hybrid composites has focused, among other things, on improving elongation at break or creating pseudoductile material behavior [29,30], improving fatigue strength [31] and impact strength [32][33][34] and implementing low-cost fibers [35,36]. Since the combination of different fiber materials in a part can also lead to a de-crease in certain mechanical properties, a compromise in hybridization is necessary [37,38]. This implies an optimization criterion for the hybridization ratio that must be addressed in the design.…”
