Influence of Angle Ply Orientation on Tensile Properties of Carbon/Glass and Kevlar/Glass Hybrid CompositesPages 350-354
M.N. Gururaja Abstract:
This study investigates the influence of angle ply orientation on the tensile properties of hybrid composites composed of carbon/glass and Kevlar/glass fibers. Hybrid composites have gained significant attention in engineering applications due to their superior strength-to-weight ratio and tailored tensile properties. By varying the ply orientation angles, we aim to understand how these configurations impact the tensile strength, flexural strength, and impact resistance of the composites. A series of composite laminates were fabricated using carbon/glass and Kevlar/glass fibers with different ply angles (0°/90°, 60°/30°). Tensile testing was conducted according to ASTM standards to evaluate the tensile, flexural, and compression properties of the composites. The results indicate that the ply orientation plays a crucial role in determining the overall tensile performance of the hybrid composites. Keywords: Hybrid composites,
