The performance of a progressive damage model in quantitative hybrid effect prediction of a comprehensive set of different 16 unidirectional interlayer (layer-by-layer) hybrid composites was assessed. Composites, produced by the hand lay-up method, made out of four different commercially available dry unidirectional fabric materials, namely high-modulus carbon, standard carbon, E-glass and basalt, were tested. Tensile tests on single fibres were performed in order to determine their Weibull strength distribution parameters, which were used as inputs of the progressive damage model. Reasonably good agreement between analytical and experimental hybrid effect results was obtained, which allowed to estimate satisfactorily the reference strengths of the unidirectional low strain composite materials. Next, an existing analytical model for the simulation of stress–strain curve of hybrid composites was adapted to contemplate the hybrid effect, which allowed to predict the following properties of unidirectional hybrid combinations: ‘yield’ stress (or pseudo-yield stress), pseudo-ductile strain and strength. It was verified as well that predictions of the three properties referred to were in close agreement with the test results. Finally, damage mode maps were used in the analysis of these properties and, furthermore, of the hybrid effect and the elastic modulus of hybrid combinations.

This study presents the results of an investigation on the tensile behaviour of hybrid polymer composites under different strain rates. Glass/carbon, aramid/carbon, glass/aramid, and glass/aramid/carbon hybrid laminates were produced using vacuum assisted resin transfer molding method with epoxy resin system. Uniaxial tensile testing was performed to determine the tensile strength, modulus and failure strain of the hybrid laminates under quasi static (0.001 s‒1) and intermediate (5 and 10 s‒1) strain rates. Tensile strength and elastic modulus of hybrid composites increased with increasing the strain rate. Hybrid laminates with glass fibre were more sensitive to the strain rate. Carbon layers located at the centre of the hybrid laminates resulted in increased tensile strength, indicating the major role of stacking sequence on the behaviour of hybrid composites. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) was used to examine the fracture surfaces of the laminates. The extent of damage propagation was significantly broader at intermediate strain rates.
