Abstract

Hybridization plays an important role to achieve
multi-functionality for the particular composite applications. Hybrid
composites allow designers to obtain desired physical and mechanical properties
that cannot be provided from a single type of fiber reinforcement such as combining
high strength, light weight and good impact resistance together. In this study,
the effect of hybridization on the Charpy impact strength was investigated
considering the aramid and carbon fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composites.
For this reason, interply, intraply hybrid composite laminates, aramid FRP and
carbon FRP were manufactured by hand lay-up followed by vacuum bagging method.
The composite laminates were tested according to ISO 179-1: 2010 Standard using
Charpy impact testing machine. The results were given comparatively and shown
that energy absorption capacity of intraply hybrid composite laminate was found
better than others.
