The document discusses various concepts related to composite materials including lamina, laminates, hybrid composites, lay-up, and stacking sequence. A lamina is a single layer of unidirectional or woven fabric in a matrix. A laminate consists of two or more stacked laminae at different orientations. Hybrid composites contain two or more different material types. Lay-up defines a laminate's ply composition while stacking sequence defines ply composition and orientation order. Examples of various laminate configurations are provided.

Uni-directional Laminate
Laminate: Two or more unidirectional laminae or plies stacked together
at various orientations is called Laminate. The laminae (plies) can be of various thicknesses and consists of different or same materials. Ex: (0/90/0), (0/0/0/0) = (0 4) Hybrid Composites: A composite made up of 2 or more different types of materials. Ex: (0k/0k/45c/90c)
Interply Hybrid Composites: Laminate made up of plies of Gl/Epoxy,
C/epoxy & aramid/epoxy.
Intraply Hybrid Composites: A ply made up of 2 or more fibers
intermingled.
Intra-Interply Hybrid Composites: Combination of Intraply and
Interply hybrid. Lay-up: Configuration of a laminate that defines ply composition. (0/±45/90) Stacking sequence: Configuration of a laminate that defines ply composition and the exact sequence of ply orientation and its thickness.
