• Hybrid polymer composite
• failure zone
• translaminar fracture
• critical stress intensity factor
• environmental conditions

The mechanism of translaminar failure in hybrid polymer matrix composites is a typical combination of tensile and bending loads. Experimentations have been carried out on pin loaded single edge notched tensile specimen. The results of the experimental analysis carried out on the influence of failure zone and environmental conditions on the stress intensity factor in glass/textile fabric (GF/TF) polymer hybrid composites have been reported. The results have shown that the failure zone varies with the fabric volume, the initial crack size and the environment. The results have shown that the acidic environment has maximum influence on the failure pattern and the critical stress intensity factors.
