Abstract

The hybridisation of fibres reinforced laminates, i.e., the combined use of two or more families of fibres, is an effective technique to achieve a pseudo-ductile response and overcome the inherent brittleness which limits the wider use of composite materials. In this paper, a one-dimensional analytical model for unidirectional hybrid laminates is derived. The model considers two elastic–brittle layers bonded together by a cohesive elasto–plastic–brittle interface. This formulation is applied to the study of the debonding and fracture of laminates under uniaxial loading and the results compared to experiments available from the open literature. This study shows that the proposed model provides a close fit to the experimental data and it is able to match accurately the crack patterns seen in the experiments. The model predicts four different failure mechanisms and is able to discriminate among them according to the geometrical and mechanical properties of the layers.
