The analysis of fatigue behaviours of the laminated hybrid composite materials

Layered composite materials with a wide range of applications in industry, may be exposed to the cyclic load depending on the field used. So, resistance of the materials to cyclic loads is significant parameter. Unlike isotropic materials, detection of the fatigue behavior of the composite materials is more difficult. The reason for this are the more number of parameters considered during the design of the composite materials. Fatigue behavior of layered hybrid composite materials has been investigated experimentally in this study performed. In this study, eight different hybrid samples including carbon and glass were produced with hand lay-up method using epoxy resin. Hydraulic hot press was applied to the composite plates after combining the fibers with the resin. Necessary samples to be made fatigue tests, were scaled up according to appropriate ASTM standards. Stretch ratio and frequency were selected 0.1 and 10 Hz respectively. The results obtained at the end of the experiment have been presented in graphics by comparing them.
