Abstract

The flexural modulus of graphite/glass-reinforced hybrids exhibits deviations from the rule-of-mixtures base-line. The deviation increases as the segregation of the glass and graphite layers increases, and it reaches a maximum when the two fibre types are arranged in 3 layers. When the stiffer fibres (graphite) are in the outer layers the deviation is positive but it is negative with the less stiff fibres (glass) on the outside. The extent of deviation is shown to be predictable by the analysis.
