Abstract
The present chapter deals with investigation of damage mechanisms in fiber reinforced with alumina oxide specimen (Hybrid composite) under cyclic reversed loading. Two different percentages (5 and 10 %) of alumina oxide particle are added with composites by weight proportions and are formed to dog-bone-shaped specimen with total thickness 3.2 mm according to ASTM standard D3479-76, to determine the fatigue strength. The magnification view of scanning electron microscope (SEM) was used to identify the failure mechanism of composite specimen such as matrix failure, fiber-matrix debonding and fiber failure in the direction of fiber. It is observed that fiber failure is a additional fatigue damage and growth of all these damages leads to final fatigue failure of the hybrid composite specimen, but the GFRP with 10 % Al2O3 particle exhibits an improved fatigue life over that of GFRP with 5 % Al2O3 particle.
