Determination of Mechanical Properties of Single and Double-Layer Intraply Hybrid Composites Manufactured by Hand Lay-Up Method.

ABSTRACT: This study experimentally evaluates the mechanical and microstructural performance of single- and double-layer intraply hybrid composite (IRC) laminates produced using the hand lay-up method, focusing on Glass-Aramid (GA), Aramid-Carbon (AC), and Carbon-Glass (CG) configurations. Tensile, flexural, compressive, and density tests were conducted in accordance with relevant ASTM standards to assess the influence of hybrid type and layer number under field-representative manufacturing conditions. Microstructural investigations were performed using optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to identify fabrication-induced imperfections and their relationship to mechanical behavior. The results demonstrate that increasing the laminate configuration from single to double layer sign
