Recycling of aluminum from fibre metal laminates

Journal of Shanghai Jiaotong University (Science), 2012
Recycling of aluminum alloy scrap obtained from delaminated fibre metal laminates (FMLs) was studied through high temperature refining in the presence of a salt flux. The aluminum alloy scrap contains approximately mass fraction w(Cu) = 4.4%, w(Mg) = 1.1% and w(Mn) = 0.6% (2024 aluminum alloy).

Property Optimisation in Fibre Metal Laminates

Applied Composite Materials, 2004
Fibre Metal Laminates (FMLs) are hybrid materials, which consist of thin metal sheets bonded together with alternating unidirectional fibre layers. This material concept has resulted in superior fatigue characteristics with respect to the metallic counterpart.

Crack closure in fibre metal laminates

Fatigue & Fracture of Engineering Materials & Structures, 2007
ABSTRACTGLARE is a fibre metal laminate (FML) built up of alternating layers of S2‐glass/FM94 prepreg and aluminium 2024‐T3. The excellent fatigue behaviour of GLARE can be described with a recently published analytical prediction model.This model is based on linear elastic fracture mechanics and the assumption that a similar stress state in the ...

Process Chains for Fibre Metal Laminates

Advanced Materials Research, 2014
The combination of fibre-reinforced materials with metals is defined as a fibre metal laminate. These material composites have already been a subject of research for several years. The long manufacturing time resulting from the period required for consolidation of the thermosetting resin is a major disadvantage of the fibre metal laminates previously ...

Static Properties of Fibre Metal Laminates

Applied Composite Materials, 2003
In this article a brief overview of the static properties of Fibre Metal Laminates is given. Starting with the stress-strain relation, an effective calculation tool for uniaxial stress-strain curves is given. The method is valid for all Glare types. The Norris failure model is described in combination with a Metal Volume Fraction approach leading to a ...

Stochastic Finite Element Modelling of Fibre-Metal Laminates

45th AIAA/ASME/ASCE/AHS/ASC Structures, Structural Dynamics & Materials Conference, 2004
Fibre-metal laminates are expected to have larger variations in material properties compared to traditional aerospace materials such as aluminium. Eects of such variations are not taken into account in current numerical models. This paper discusses the development of a stochastic nite element model with the existing deterministic solidlike shell (SLS ...

Impact properties of Fibre Metal Laminates

Composites Engineering, 1993
Conventional composites are known for their sensitivity to impact damage. This has slowed their widespread application to thin, damage tolerance-critical primary structures such as fuselage pressure cabin skins. Therefore, impact tests were performed to determine the impact characteristics of Fibre Metal Laminates (GLARE and ARALL). Comparative low and

Impact loading on fibre metal laminates

International Journal of Impact Engineering, 1996
Abstract Static identation and low and high velocity impact tests are conducted on specimens with a circular clamped test area. Monolithic A1 2024-T3 and 7075-T6, various grades of Fibre Metal Laminates (FML), and composites are tested. The energy to create the first crack for FML with aramid and carbon fibres is comparable to fibre reinforced ...

Fatigue initiation in fibre metal laminates

International Journal of Fatigue, 2006
Abstract It is assumed that fatigue crack initiation in Fibre Metal Laminates is determined by the stress cycles in the metal layers only. It is further assumed that if the stress cycles in the metal layers are known, the fatigue initiation life can be established using S – N data available for the given metal alloy.

Development of a ferromagnetic fibre metal laminate

Composites Part A: Applied Science and Manufacturing, 2011
Abstract This study introduces the concept of a multifunctional fibre metal laminate (FML), specifically, one which utilises ferromagnetic foil in combination with carbon fibre reinforced epoxy to produce a FML which is magnetically functional and structurally efficient.
