An experimental investigation on the mechanical performance of interlayer hybrid flax-basalt-glass woven fabrics reinforced epoxy composite laminates has been performed. The tensile, flexural, in-plane shear, interlaminar shear, bearing, and impact properties of the fabricated laminates were investigated. Test specimens were fabricated using vacuum bagging process. Failure modes of all specimens were recorded and discussed. Results proved that the mechanical properties of flax-basalt-glass hybrid laminates are highly dominated by the reinforcement combinations and plies stacking sequence. Hybridizing flax fiber reinforced composite with basalt and/or glass fabrics provides an effective method for enhancing its tensile, flexural, in-plane shear, interlaminar shear, and bearing properties as well as controls the impact strength of the composite. The fabricated hybrids are found to have good specific mechanical properties benefits. Amongst the studied flax/basalt/glass hybrids, FBGs has the highest tensile properties, GBFs has the highest flexural and impact properties, and GFBs has the best shear and bearing properties. Flax-basalt-glass hybrid composites with different layering sequence seem to be an appropriate choice for lightweight load bearing structures.

Current study reported a facile method to investigate the effects of stacking sequence layers of hybrid composite materials on ballistic energy absorption by running the ballistic test at the high velocity ballistic impact conditions. The velocity and absorbed energy were accordingly calculated as well. The specimens were fabricated from Kevlar, carbon, and glass woven fabrics and resin and were experimentally investigated under impact conditions. All the specimens possessed equal mass, shape, and density; nevertheless, the layers were ordered in different stacking sequence. After running the ballistic test at the same conditions, the final velocities of the cylindrical AISI 4340 Steel pellet showed how much energy was absorbed by the samples. The energy absorption of each sample through the ballistic impact was calculated; accordingly, the proper ballistic impact resistance materials could be found by conducting the test. This paper can be further studied in order to characterise the material properties for the different layers.

AbstractIn this experimental study, the impact response of unidirectional hybrid composite laminate was investigated. Hybrid laminates with different stacking sequences were fabricated, using unidirectional glass and carbon fiber as reinforcement and epoxy resin as matrix. ASTM standard D5628 was followed to conduct the experiment using the instrumented drop weight impact test apparatus. All the square specimens were tested at an impact velocity of 3.43 m/s and the time histories of force and energy absorbed were recorded. The impacted specimens and their X-ray images were visually inspected to understand the failure pattern. The experimental results showed that the addition of carbon fiber increases the impact strength by absorbing more force and energy. Furthermore, the laminate can be stiffened with the carbon fiber layers by interfacing glass fiber layers on either side.


our present study deals with the investigation of flexural strength of Glass/Kevlar epoxy and glass/carbon epoxy hybrid laminates. Laminates of different stacking order were prepared and three point bending test were conducted on the hybrid laminates. From the experimental results, the flexural strength of different hybrid laminates was evaluated and comparisons were made.
