Abstract

A variety of composite materials are applied to industries for the realization of light weight and high strength. Fiber-reinforced composites have different strength and range of application depending on the weaving method. The mechanical performance of CFRP(Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic) in many areas has already been demonstrated. Recently, the application of hybridization has been increasing in order to give a compensation for brittleness of CFRP. Target materials are UHMWPE (Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene), which has excellent cutting and chemical resistance, so it is applied not only to industrial safety products but also to places that lining performance is expected for household appliances. In this study, the CFRP and UHMWPE of plain weave, which are highly applicable to curved products, were molded into laminated hybrid composite materials by autoclave method. The mechanical properties and the mode I failure behavior between the layers were evaluated. The energy release rate G has decreased as the initial crack length ratio increased.
