Study on interlaminar shear strength of angle ply oriented basalt-carbon hybrid composite

摘要

In this study inter-laminar shear strength of basalt-carbon hybrid composite was investigated experimentally and numerically. The finite element model was generated in ANSYS~R software. The main aim of this paper was to determine the influence of fiber orientation on interlaminar shear strength, and to estimate the interlaminar shear strength of angle ply oriented basalt-carbon hybrid composite laminates. The tested specimens with varying orientations were prepared using hand lay-up technique. Short beam shear test under three point bending was performed through ASTM D2344. The input data for finite element analysis was obtained from three point bending test. Numerical results obtained from ANSYS showed good correlation with experimental results. From the obtained results of experimental and FEA analysis the effect of fiber orientation was proved on interlaminar shear strength of basalt-carbon hybrid composite laminates.
