Abstract
Hybrid basalt/carbon fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) laminates with different hybrid basalt/carbon ratios and stacking sequences were fabricated via wet layup, and their mechanical and piezoresistive properties were evaluated through tensile testing. Results demonstrated that increasing the basalt/carbon ratio reduced elastic modulus and tensile strength, with the optimal performance at a ratio of 3. Stacking sequence also affected properties, with B4C4-1 performing best. A piecewise mechanical–piezoresistive model accurately predicted strain-induced resistance changes, enhancing their potential for engineering applications.
