Özet:
Recently, hybrid composites have known as high performance engineering materials and they have been used broadly in engineering applications where high strength to weight ratio, reasonable cost and ease of fabrication are requested. Since these composites offer combination of benefits of different kinds of fibers, their usage is increasing day after day. The objective of this thesis is to examine the mechanical properties of carbonglass fiber reinforced epoxy hybrid composites in two different configurations. Also, the fatigue performance under bending tests of these composites were investigated. The hybrid composites were manufactured by using vacuum infusion technique at ambient temperature. To examine the mechanical properties of manufactured composites, a series of mechanical tests such as compression, tensile and three-point bending tests were performed on the samples which were prepared in accordance with the relevant ASTM standards. Load-controlled three-point bending fatigue tests were also carried out to investigate the performance of manufactured composites under fatigue. The fatigue tests were performed at different stress levels varied from 30 percent to 90 percent of average ultimate flexural strength of the samples which were determined from static three-point bending tests. Subsequently stiffness loss and Wöhler curves were constructed using a specific failure criterion.
