The Bearing Strength of Fiber Metal Laminates

Journal of Composite Materials, 2006
The bearing strength, in particular the edge distance sensitivity, of several fiber metal laminates of the GLARE family is experimentally evaluated. The behavior of the fiber layer is investigated in detail to obtain a better understanding of its failure mode. Parallel with these experiments, the bearing behavior is studied using a finite element (FE)

Fatigue crack growth in fiber-metal laminates

Science China Physics, Mechanics and Astronomy, 2013
Fiber-metal laminates (FMLs) consist of three layers of aluminum alloy 2024-T3 and two layers of glass/epoxy prepreg, and it (it means FMLs) is laminated by Al alloy and fiber alternatively. Fatigue crack growth rates in notched fiber-metal laminates under constant amplitude fatigue loading were studied experimentally and numerically and were compared ...

Dynamic Characterization of a Fiber-Metal Laminate

Key Engineering Materials, 2013
The mechanical strength of a fiber-metal laminate is not so well explored at high strain rates, although its constituents are prone to exhibit such effects. In this paper, we describe an investigation of aluminium-fiber glass material using the Split Hopkinson bar device.

Ballistic impact of GLARE™ fiber–metal laminates

Composite Structures, 2003
Abstract Analytical solutions to predict the ballistic limit and energy absorption of fully clamped GLARE panels subjected to ballistic impact by a blunt cylinder were derived. The analytical solutions were based on test results from NASA Glenn. The ballistic limit was found through an iterative process such that the initial kinetic energy of the ...

Electro-Magnetic Forming of Fiber Metal Laminates

Key Engineering Materials, 2019
The paper presents the results of forming rifts in five-layer metal polymer laminates by electro-magnetic forming. During the experimental studies the discharge energy of the electro-magnetic machine was varied in such a way as to achieve different depths of the rift.

Dynamic Mechanical Properties of Fiber-Metal Laminates

Crashworthiness of Composites and Lightweight Structures, 2001
Abstract Fiber-metal laminated cantilever beams, made of glass-fiber reinforced GLARE and aramid-fiber reinforced ARALL laminates interlaced with aluminum layers, were first excited by a shaker at various frequencies surrounding resonances. Dynamic Young’s moduli and damping ratios were then evaluated using both free-vibration (resonance)

The fracture properties of environmental-friendly fiber metal laminates

Journal of Reinforced Plastics and Composites, 2011
The tensile and impact properties of environmental-friendly composites and FMLs have been investigated. Of the four composites investigated here, a SRPP composite offered superior properties to basalt-, flax-, and hemp fiber-reinforced PP composites. Adding aluminum layers to the outer surfaces of the composites resulted in a significant enhancement ...

Fatigue crack growth in fiber-metal laminates

International Journal of Solids and Structures, 1995
Abstract The fatigue behavior of cracked fiber-metal laminates containing residual stresses is studied. A finite element model employing special interface elements is developed for this study. The use of the interface element allows the simulation to be completed in a single finite element analysis conducted within the limitations of elasticity ...
