The synergy effect of carbon/glass/epoxy hybrid laminate in Mode I delamination: A physical microfracture analysis

The adoption of carbon/glass fiber hybrid composites is an economical alternative to high-cost carbon/epoxy composites and helps to address environmental issues. However, the addition of another type of fiber modifies the mechanical behavior of the composite regarding interfacial interactions, consequently affecting other properties. Research related to three interfaces, with regard to hybrid composites, has not yet provided a good understanding...
