Boron/Aluminum - Graphite/Resin Advanced Fiber Composite Hybrids.

Abstract

An investigation was conducted to determine the fabrication feasibility and to assess the potential of an adhesively bonded metal and resin matrix fiber-composite hybrid as an advanced material for aerospace and other structural applications. The results of fabrication studies and of the evaluation of physical and mechanical properties show that using this hybrid concept makes possible a composite design which, when compared with nonhybrid composites, has greater transverse strength, transverse stiffness, and impact resistance with only a small penalty on density and longitudinal properties. The results also show that laminate theory is suitable for predicting the structural response of such hybrids. The sequence of fracture modes indicates that these types of hybrids can be readily designed to meet fail-safe requirements.
