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 in

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.

The fracture properties of a smart fiber metal laminate

Polymer Composites, 2007
AbstractThis paper investigates the interfacial, tensile, and fatigue properties of a novel smart fiber‐metal laminate (FML) based on a nickel‐titanium (Ni‐Ti) shape memory alloy and a woven glass fiber reinforced epoxy. Initial tests, using the single cantilever beam (SCB) geometry, have shown that this unique system offers high values of metal ...

Investigation on Formability of Fiber Metal Laminates

2020
In this study, the formability of fiber metal laminates (FML) used in aerospace industry were experimentally examined. Al5754-H22 sheets in two different thicknesses (0.6 and 1.2 mm) were used in top and bottom layers of FML specimens. Carbon fiber plates made of prepreg carbon fiber fabrics were placed in the middle layer of FML specimens. In order to

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 ...

Characterization of long fiber thermoplastic/metal laminates

Journal of Materials Science, 2008
Long fiber thermoplastic (LFT) composite/metal laminate (LML) is a hybrid composite consisting of alternate layers of metals such as aluminum and an LFT composite, which combines advantages from both the constituents. The LFT/Al laminates (LMLs) were processed by compression molding and were characterized for their Young’s modulus, mechanical strength,

Fiber Metal Laminates—Matching the Best in Composites and Metals

Materials Technology, 1994
Fiber metal laminates are advanced aerospace materials consisting of thin high-strength aluminum sheets bonded together with fiber-reinforced adhesive epoxy. In them, the most attractive qualities of composites are combined with the desirable features of metals, resulting in structural materials with high strength and low density, formability, and ...

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 ...
