Abstract

The mode I interlaminar fracture toughness of hybrid laminate was investigated by conducting double cantilever beam test as per ASTM D5528. Unidirectional carbon or kevlar fibre was stacked as outer layers and glass fibre layers in quasi isotropic orientation was used as core. Layer configuration of the 12 ply symmetric laminate was taken as [H/H/G0/G135/G90/G45]s. H/H was varied as G0/G0, C0/G0, C0/C0, K0/G0 and K0/K0. These hybrid laminates were prepared by hand lay-up technique and post cured by compression at high temperature and pressure. The strain energy release rate (GIC) calculated using modified beam theory method was found to be better for the glass/carbon-epoxy hybrid laminates under mode I loading. Fractographic analysis of the delaminated surfaces shows fibre imprints and hackles. In glass/kevlar-epoxy hybrid laminate cusp was observed that could be formed due to shear loads acting on that laminate.
