Abstract
The mechanical properties of hybrid composite of glass nonwoven and Kevlar multiaxial warp knit have been studied. The effects of structural changes in hybrid composites were investigated with the focus on the interhybrid structures resulting from changes in the stacking sequence of the two different materials. The hybrid composites showed good flexural properties, because the short staple reinforced fibers in nonwoven fabrics effectively disturbed the propagation of crack path by fiber-bridging and significantly improved interlaminar fracture energy.
