Abstract
The results are presented of a combined experimental and theoretical investigation into the flexural mechanical properties of hybrid laminates. Specimens (16-ply) covering a range of material and orientation stacking sequences were fabricated from carbon fibre and glass fibre/epoxy prepreg and tested in four-point bending. Theoretical modelling accounted for nonlinear behaviour, neutral axis shift, thermal stresses and ply mechanical interactions. In general, there was satisfactory agreement between predicted and measured values.
