T1 STUDY OF ELASTIC AND STRENGTH PROPERTIES OF HYBRID AND GRADIENT POLYMER COMPOSITES JF Composites: Mechanics, Computations, Applications: An International Journal JO CMCA YR 2010 FD 2011-02-17 VO 1 IS 4 SP 361 OP 373 K1 hybrid and gradient polymer composites K1 elastic and strength properties AB The paper deals with the properties of hybrid (HPC) and gradient (GPC) polymer composites depending on the ratio of the content of different fibers. The major factor governing the regularities of the mechanical behavior of composites is the ratio of ultimate strains of reinforcing fibers. Synergy effects of increasing deformability of carbon fibers under tension and organic fibers under compression in a glass-fiber-reinforced (GFR) matrix are observed. Gradient materials with a nonuniform structure enable one to assign a law of variation of the material stiffness, which gives an optimal stress distribution in a whole product under loading.
