ABSTRACT

In this study two groups of hybrid composite materials were experimentally studied in static uniaxial compression test. The first group consisted of Kevlar/glass fiber and the second group consisted of carbon/glass fiber reinforced epoxy resin. Each group contained four subsets (A, B, C and D) of hybrid composite materials. Compression test was carried out according to ASTM D695 and each test was replicated five times. It was observed that for the same type of hybrid composites, placing carbon or Kevlar fiber layers at the top and bottom; and glass fiber layers in the middle did not give significant effects than placing glass fiber layers at the top and bottom and carbon or Kevlar fiber layers in the middle of the specimens under compressive test. Furthermore, the results showed that hybrid composite laminates for the same number of layers with carbon/glass fiber provided the highest amount of the compressive stress value up to 40% compared to the results of the group which was reinforced with Kevlar/glass fiber.
