Abstract The material properties of composite materials are affected by changes in temperature and moisture. This study used the glass/carbon fiber reinforced plastic hybrid composite (G/CFRPHC) laminate as the research object. The stiffness and strength of the composite lamina were expressed as a function of hydrothermal parameters. Based on classical lamination theory(CLT) and macro-mechanical analysis, using MATLAB programming, the tensile strength of G/CFRPHC laminates under a hydrothermal environment was studied. In addition, the influence of temperature, ply thickness, ply stacking sequence, and ply angle on the tensile strength of G/CFRPHC laminates under a hydrothermal environment was discussed. The results show that the tensile strength of G/CFRPHC laminates decreases with the increase of temperature and laying angle in the temperature range of 20℃~110℃ in the hydrothermal environment (moisture absorption rate C1=0.5%). Furthermore, for the G/CFRPHC laminates with laying modes of (02G/90mC)S, (04G/90mC)S, (06G/90mC)S, as m increases, their tensile strength gradually decreases. The tensile strength of G/CFRPHC laminates with the same ply angle but different ply stacking sequence is also not the same.

AbstractThis paper investigated the effect of the incorporation of basalt fibers on the tensile properties of carbon fiber-reinforced epoxy laminates manufactured by vacuum-assisted resin transfer molding. The purpose of this research was to design a carbon-basalt/epoxy hybrid composite material that is of low cost in production, is lightweight, and has good strength and stiffness. The tensile strength and stiffness of the hybrid laminates demonstrated a steady, linear decrease with an increase in basalt fiber content, but the fracture strain gradually increased together with the increase in the basalt layer content. In this study, the incorporation of basalt fibers into the carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) showed lower tensile strength than CFRP but has higher tensile strain. Furthermore, we found that the arrangement and enhancement of basalt fiber into the CFRP significantly influence the mechanical properties of interply hybrid composites.

Recycled Fibers

The objective of the present study is to investigate the effect of pyrolysis time and temperature on the mechanical properties of recycled carbon fiber, based on tensile strength measurements, determining the optimum decomposition conditions for carbon fiber-reinforced polymers (CFRPs) by superheated steam. In this research, CFRPs were efficiently depolymerized and reinforced fibers were separated from resin by superheated steam. Tensile strength of fibrous recyclates was measured and compared to that of virgin fiber. Although tensile strength of recycled fibers were litter lower than that of virgin fiber, under some conditions tensile strength of recycled fibers were close to that of virgin fiber. With pyrolysis, some char residue from the polymer remains on the fibers and degrees of char on the recycled fibers were closely examined by scanning electron microscopy.

Carbon Fiber Reinforced

Out-of-plane waviness is one of the most common defects which degenerates the strength, stiffness, and fatigue life of hybrid glass–carbon fiber–reinforced polymer composites (FRPs). An accurate and high-speed non-destructive testing method is highly desired for large composite structures in industries. Ultrasonic phased array is a great candidate for such application. This paper applies the wavenumber algorithm to image the waviness in hybrid FRP plates which are a multi-layered medium. The central frequency of 5 MHZ is chosen in order to maximize the ply resonance. Transducers are migrated virtually to each interface between glass and carbon plies in order to overcome the difficulty of wave propagation analysis in such multi-layered system. The wavenumber algorithm demonstrates a better computational performance compared to that of the traditional total focusing method (TFM) in time domain up to 6 times. The glass ply depth and waviness angle can be more accurately presented with relative errors less than 1.5% and 14.8%, respectively. In addition, the resin-rich defect characterization is also achievable with a maximum error of 14.4%.
