This paper deals with three-point flexure tests on hybrid I-and P-beams,made out of multi-layer carbon fiber/epoxy resin(including twill woven fabric CF3031/5284 and unidirectional cord fabric U3160/5284)reinforced composites,processed using the RTM(resin transfer molding)technique.Static bending properties were determined and failure initiation mechanism was deduced from experimental observations.Failure mode of the tested hybrid RTM-made I-beams can be reckoned to be characteristic of the delamination from the cutout edge within the web and the debonding propagation along the interface between the inverted triangular resin-rich zone and the adjacent curved web until local buckling within the curved webs around the conjunction fillet region.In contrast,as distinct from hybrid RTM I-beams subjected to three-point bending loading,hybrid RTM-made P-beams in three-point flexure tests experienced the resin debonding in the inverted triangular resin-rich zones and the debonding propagation along the interface between the inverted triangular resin-rich zone and the adjacent curved web until complete separation of the curved web from the flange.Progressive damage models(PDMs)were presented to predict failure loads and process of hybrid RTM-made I-and P-beams under three-point flexure.Good correlation was achieved between experimental and numerical results.
