Abstract

The mechanical characteristics of hybrid composites with non-woven carbon tissue (NWCT) are investigated under static tensile and tension-tension fatigue loadings. The hybrid composites are made by stacking NWCT and CFRP prepregs. Thirteen kinds of composites are studied; i.e. NWCT composites, CFRP longitudinal [0]8, transverse [90]12, off-axis [45]12 and angle-ply [±45]3S, hybrid longitudinal ([0/0]4, [/0/0/]4), transverse ([90/90]6, [/90/90/]6), off-axis ([45/45]6, [/45/45/]6), and angle-ply ([+45/-45](3S), [/+45/-45/]3S). The symbol '/' means that the NWCT is located between the CFRP layers. To estimate the stiffness of hybrid composites, the rule of mixtures is used. The effects of NWCT on the tension-tension fatigue life, the residual strength and stiffness of hybrid specimens are evaluated. The fatigue damage and failure mechanisms of the hybrid composites are analyzed with an optical microscope.
