Abstract
In this paper, the mechanical characterization of glass-carbon fiber reinforced hybrid polymer composite with epoxy resin as the matrix was investigated. Initially the basic mechanical characterization like tensile, bending, impact and wear tests have been carried out experimentally along and across the fiber orientation for the glass-carbon hybrid composite. The specimens were prepared and tested according to ASTM Standards. Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) composites have been widely used high strength, low weight structural applications as compared to their metallic counterparts. Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) composites posses superior specific strength and modulus but have a lower failure strain and high cost. Hence, the combination of both glass and carbon fiber in polymer composite may yield optimized mechanical properties.
