Development of Carbon Fibre Metal Laminates (CFML): Design, Fabrication and Characterisation [PDF]
Fibre Metal Laminates (FMLs) are hybrid materials consisting of metal layers bonded to fibre-reinforced polymer layers. CFML is an FML developed at NAL consisting of thin aluminum foil combined with carbon-epoxy and glass-epoxy prepreg materials. CFML is

Strain rate effect on the mechanical behaviour of a textile reinforced cement composite [PDF]
The static tensile behaviour of Textile Reinforced Cement Composites is known and can be modeled adequately. However, using these static material properties under dynamic loadings such as impact and seismic loadings, can cause over- or underestimation of

Combining fibre rotation and fragmentation to achieve pseudo-ductile CFRP laminates [PDF]
The pseudo-ductility shown by thin ply angle-ply laminates has been coupled with the gradual fragmentation of unidirectional (0°) plies to yield a metal-like stress-strain curve for a [±θm/0n]s laminate. This has led to a significant increase in pseudo-

Experimental analysis of aluminium/carbon epoxy hybrid laminates under flexural load
Industry needs new materials that present very high structural characteristic, such as high strength, low weight and high damage tolerance. To obtain these characteristics a new class of materials has been introduced: Fibre Metal Laminate (FML); they ...

Using (VA)RTM with a Rigid Mould to Produce Fibre Metal Laminates with Proven Impact Strength
The production of fibre metal laminates (FMLs) is a time consuming and expensive procedure. This paper shows the application of the vacuum assisted resin transfer moulding ((VA)RTM) technique using an injection unit and a rigid mould for the production ...

The Efficiency of Basalt Fibres in Strengthening the Reinforced Concrete Beams [PDF]
The technique of externally bonding fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) composite laminates on the tension side of reinforced concrete (RC) beams is already widely accepted as an easy to apply, corrosion resistant and effective solution due to the high ...

Low-velocity impact behaviour of fibreglass-aluminium laminates [PDF]
Low-velocity impact tests were performed on fibreglass–aluminium composites made of 2024 T3 sheets and S2-glass/epoxy prepreg layers, using an instrumented falling weight machine. For comparison purposes, similar tests were carried out on monolithic 2024

Life cycle assessment of fibre metal laminates: An ecodesign approach
Despite the extensive research on renewable resources (RR) and their potential applications in composite materials and sandwich structures, there remains a significant dearth of life cycle assessment (LCA) studies that comprehensively evaluate the ...
