Crack paths in fibre metal laminates: Role of fibre bridging

Engineering Fracture Mechanics, 2013
Abstract This paper discusses experimental results of fatigue tests performed under off-axis loading with respect to the principal direction of fibres in fibre metal laminates. The cracks in the metal layers of the FMLs do not propagate perpendicular to loading but at an angle to this orthogonal direction.

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 ...

Next Generation Fibre Metal Laminates

2001
As the name Fibre Metal Laminates (FML) already suggests, they are a mixture of sheet material and fibres, bonded by an adhesive. Arall and Glare are the first and second generation FMLs respectively However, other potential variants have been developed with success as well.

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

Warm forming of thermoplastic fibre metal laminates

Materials Research Proceedings, 2023
Abstract. In this paper, the forming behaviour of sheet-like metal/polymer/metal (MPM) and thermoplastic fibre metal laminates (TFMLs) is introduced. TFMLs are based on thin metallic cover sheets and fibre-reinforced thermoplastic matrix (here polyamide 6).

On the Bearing Strength of Fibre Metal Laminates

Journal of Composite Materials, 1992
Published work on mechanically fastened joints in composites has demon strated that the influence of lateral restraint on bearing strength is of paramount impor tance. Delamination in conjunction with buckling is frequently observed if there is a lack of lateral restraint (pin-type loading).

Hydrothermal ageing of fibre metal laminates made of flax fibres

2021
In the past two decades, fibre metal laminates (FMLs) have been widely used to manufacture aircraft and aerospace components. FMLs are hybrid composite structures based on thin sheets of metal alloys reinforced by organic matrix composites (Sinmazçelik et al., 2011).

An Historic Overview of the Development of Fibre Metal Laminates

Applied Composite Materials, 2003
In this paper a brief overview of the history of Fibre Metal Laminates Arall and Glare is given as background information for the other, technical articles in this journal. The story of the development of Fibre Metal Laminates is rather a unique story in the history of aircraft materials: A university laboratory invented, developed and certified an ...
