“…However, this is outside the scope of this review, which is concerned solely with the improvement in damage resistance and tolerance due to the thermoplastic toughening phase. Information on the use of these types of fabrics, and their effect on impact tolerance can be found in references [22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35].…”

“…Nevertheless, there are an incredible numbers of outline parameters that strongly influence the impact behavior of hybrid composites. These parameters include stacking sequence of the hybrid composite, in which the stacking sequence of various fabrics plays a critical part in deciding the effect of impact behavior of hybrid composites [11] [12]. Studies were conducted to investigate the effects of stacking sequence under impact loading as the stacking sequence plays a very important role on the impact resistance of laminates.…”

Hybrid composites have been considered as modern materials for many engineering applications, yet there is still a major concern on the influence of stacking sequence configuration in hybrid composite laminates especially under impact loading. Therefore, the focus of this paper is to determine the optimized stacking sequence of glass/Kevlar fiber hybrid composite laminates under impact loading. Hybrid composite laminates were fabricated using vacuum bagging method with four different stacking sequences known as H1, H2, H3 and H4. Low velocity drop weight impact test (ASTM D7136) was conducted using a hemispherical nose impactor diameter of 12 mm with a mass of 6 kg at impact energy levels of 10 J, 20 J, 30 J, and 40 J. From the results obtained, H3 specimen which has a stacking sequence of glass fiber in the exterior part with Kevlar fiber in the interior part was concluded as the optimized stacking sequence with better impact resistance properties. H3 specimen recorded a higher value in peak load, maximum initiation energy, high impact strength, high strength to weight ratio and high total energy absorbed to weight ratio. In addition, it was observed that H3 specimen has less damaged area compared to H1, H2, and H4 specimens. This study contributes knowledge on the impact resistance properties of hybrid composite laminates which will be much useful for material selection and product development.

“…Aktas et. al [9] clearly stated that in hybrid composites, woven structure placed on the outer layer gave a better result. This works well for coconut coir that was weaved into the plain woven structure and proven to withstand high impact energy.…”

Abstract. The effects of different laminated hybrid composites stacking configuration subjected to ballistic impact were investigated. The hybrid composites consist of woven coir (C) and woven Kevlar (K) layers laminated together. The samples of woven coir were prepared using handloom device. The composites were produced by stacking the laminated woven coir and Kevlar alternately with the presence of the binder. The samples were tested under ballistic impact with different stacking configuration. The results obtained had successfully achieved the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) standard level IIA with energy absorption of 435.6 kJ and 412.2 kJ under the projectile speed of between 330 m/s and 321 m/s respectively. Samples that having Kevlar layer at the front face and woven coir layer as back face achieved partial penetration during projectile impact. This orientation is proven to have good impact energy absorption and able to stop projectile at the second panel of the composites.
