Abstract
The carbon fiber and the glass fiber reinforced epoxy resin can be understood as a kind of hybrid composite and this material is now attracting attention of many engineers for it's excellent properties. This report describes the mechanical properties of the material. The characteristic properties as follows:
(1) The Young's modulus of glass fiber reinforced epoxy resin is increased remarkably by the carbon fiber.
(2) The strength of hybrid composite is shown by two peak stress.
(3) The existence of both optimum modulus ratios and volume fraction of the fibrous reinforcements is suggested considering the energy absorption.
