Description Experimental studies are presented on ballistic impact behavior of hybrid composites. The materials considered for the studies are four types of symmetric hybrid composites made using plain weave E-glass fabric and 8H satin weave T300 carbon fabric with epoxy resin. Studies are also carried out on plain weave E-glass/epoxy and 8H satin weave T300 carbon/epoxy for comparison. It is observed that ballistic limit velocity, V-50 can be increased for the composites by adding E-glass layers to T300 carbon layers compared with only carbon composites for the same laminate thickness. Placing E-glass layers in the exterior and carbon layers in the interior provides higher ballistic limit velocity than placing carbon layers in the exterior and E-glass layers in the interior. Experimental damage patterns during ballistic impact have been obtained for the materials considered. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
