Abstract
This study investigates the influence of carbon/glass hybrid laminates’ stacking sequences on the impact resistance and damage tolerances of the fiber-reinforced composites. Through a series of low-velocity impact tests, ultrasonic C-scan tests, and post-impact compression tests, the conventional non-hybrid laminates (carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic and glass-fiber-reinforced plastic) were compared with the carbon/glass hybrid laminates of different configurations. And an integrated computational damage model was proposed to predict the impact damage and residual compressive strength of the hybrid laminates of different configurations. The results show that the carbon/glass hybrid laminates are highly competitive in impact resistance and residual compressive strengths due to the hybrid synergistic effects. The optimized design of carbon/glass composite laminates with different configurations is carried out through the validated integrated finite element model, which provides guidance for subsequent engineering applications.
