Tension-tension fatigue behavior of hybrid glass/carbon and carbon/carbon composites

This work investigates the quasi-static, low-cycle and fatigue behavior of hybrid glass/ultra-high modulus carbon (GC) and low modulus/ /high modulus carbon (CC) fiber composites. These pseudo-ductile unidirectional interlayer hybrids are a new type of composites whose potential is not yet fully understood, particularly under cyclic/fatigue loading. Different test methods (digital image correlation, video extensometer and thermal camera) were...
