The failure strain of fibre-reinforced composites can be increased by fibre hybridisation. A recently developed model for unidirectional composites was extended to hybrid composites to analyse this synergetic effect, called the hybrid effect. The model predicts individual fibre breaks and interactions among clusters of fibre breaks. Three key parameters were studied to understand how they can maximise the hybrid effect, namely low elongation fibre strength scatter and hybridisation fibre stiffness and failure strain. Larger strength scatter of the low elongation fibres leads to larger hybrid effects, as the scatter spreads out the cluster development over a larger strain interval. The failure strain ratio of the two fibre types should be above 2 for the properties used here, but a higher ratio did not yield any additional benefits. Increasing the stiffness of the hybridisation fibre reduces the stress concentrations on the low elongation fibre and may also enlarge the hybrid effect. These conclusions provide guidelines for designing optimal hybrid composites. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
