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 ...

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 ...

Introduction of nanoclay-modified fiber metal laminates

Engineering Fracture Mechanics, 2017
Abstract In this paper we aim to introduce benefits in modification of epoxy resin of fiber metal laminates (FMLs) with mineral nanoclay platelets. FMLs with carbon fibers and aluminum metal were attached by epoxy resin modified with various amounts of nanoclay.

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 ...
