  Abstract

The main objective of this study was to investigate the physical and mechanical characterization of two 2 × 2 hybrid twill fabrics with the same number of yarns/cm in the warp and weft directions. One of the fabrics was composed of carbon/T300 fibers and E-glass fibers, defined as CGHF, and the other of carbon/T300 fibers and Para-aramid/Twaron fibers, defined as CAHF. Physical characterization was performed by calculating the roving linear density of each fabric. Mechanical characterization was carried out based on uniaxial tensile tests of the strands and the fabrics themselves, with the load applied in both directions: warp and weft. Another aim of this research was to investigate the macroscopic characterization of the damage mechanism according to the mechanical tests. In the uniaxial tensile test of the strands, a different result was obtained for the CGHF and CAHF carbon fiber strands, showing that in the weaving process, the fiber selected for the weft influences the mechanical response of strands and fabrics, with the test conducted in the direction of the carbon fibers. With respect to damage characterization, the integrity of the carbon fibers was practically unchanged, while the glass fibers were fragmented, and the para-aramid fibers underwent fraying.
