Abstract
Hybrid laminates and angle-ply laminates with thin unidirectional carbon plies have been shown to give a pseudo-ductile response with more gradual failure than conventional composites. This paper shows the effect of ply thickness on tensile strength. Significant enhancements to the failure strain are demonstrated in glass-carbon hybrid composites, in hybrids with different grades of carbon fibre and in carbon fibre laminates combining 0° and angle plies. In addition to providing pseudo-ductility, these laminates therefore enable greater advantage to be taken of the intrinsic properties of the materials.
