Abstract
The fatigue limit and fracture behavior of epoxy carbon fiber reinforced composites and hybrid composites were investigated. An aluminum foil and thin aluminum plate were incorporated with the carbon fiber to make the hybrid reinforced composites. Several specimens were prepared, and a series of tests were carried out to investigate the fatigue life and fracture behavior. Then the results were compared among epoxy carbon fiber reinforced composites and the hybrid composites. It is discussed whether the S–N curves shows almost the similar characteristics of these two types of hybrid composites or not. As far as the present result, the stress ratio and the type of hybrid composites effect on the fatigue life. The interfacial bonding plays an important role in the strength and fracture behavior of notched specimen of the fabricated composites.
