Bending properties of carbon/glass and carbon/aramid fabric composites with various stacking structures by the VARTM method

Research output: Contribution to journalJournal articlepeer-review

Abstract

In this paper, the bending properties of woven carbon/glass and carbon/aramid fabric-reinforced polymer laminates is studied using a combination of experimental analysis and fracture observation. Six types of each hybrid composite were manufactured by lamination of the carbon/aramid fabric and carbon/glass fabric using VARTM. Bending behaviors were fundamentally evaluated for the six types of monolithic composites laminated by the same fabric. The objective was to achieve a good bending strength by effective combination of composite structures using limited amounts of a raw material. It was shown that the bending property was different, depending on the type of fiber, lamination structure, and the number of layers.
