Effects Of Stacking Sequence On Compression Response Testing Of  Carbon Fibre And Hybrids: Fibrous-Glass/Carbon/Kevlar/ Epoxy  Composite Plates

Keywords: Kevlar fibre, Carbon fibre, Glass fibre, Stacking Sequence, Energy Absorption, Unconfined Compression

This paper is concerned with evaluation of

failure mechanisms under compression loading in

unidirectional composites and the in-plane dimensional

of fibre-reinforced laminated composites under

compression loads. (0/0/0/0/0/0)s oriented cross-ply

Fibrous-Glass/Carbon/Kevlar/ Epoxy laminates studied

were fabricated and all of the material parameters of

laminated composite materials were measured

experimentally. On the contrary, the compressive

strength and failure mechanisms were investigated for

hybrid composites. Static uni-axial compressive tests

were performed on unnotched specimens made from

double-layer of carbon, glass, and Kevlar fibres and

epoxy resin combined to give six different stacking

hybrid composite materials
