Strength properties of unidirectionally reinforced hybrid composites

Mechanics of Composite Materials Aims and scope

Conclusions

Experiments were carried out with several types of unidirectionally reinforced hybrid composites (organic fiberglass plastic, organic carbon-reinforced plastic, organic boron-reinforced plastic, and carbon fiberglass plastic) with various ratios of the volume content of the fibers in various modes of simple quasistatic loading. It is shown that the strength of the examined materials in the plane stress state can be described phenomenologically by the polynomial criterion of strength with the components of the tensors of the strength surface depending on the structural parameters. The result can be used to predict (carry out interpolation calculations) the strength of the above-mentioned composites within the examined ranges of the volume content of the reinforcing fibers to optimize the selection of the type and ratio of the content of various fibers in the hybrid composite taking into account specific requirements on the strength properties of the material in the structures.
