Abstract
The tensile characteristics of a novel TWARMAT hybrid fabric with a weight of 600 g/m2, comprising aramid and E-glass fibers were assessed. Additionally, a conventional 205-g/m2 plain glass and 160-g/m2 plain carbon fiber fabrics were also tested for comparison. The results obtained reveal that TWARMAT exhibited superior stiffness and density ratios. To confirm these experimental results, the rule of mixtures was utilized. The close agreement between the two sets of data, with mean relative errors of 5.5 and 1.05% for Young’s modulus and density respectively, confirms the reliability of the methods applied.
