NUMERICAL AND EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATIONS ON GFRP AND AA 6061 LAMINATE COMPOSITES FOR DEEP-DRAWING APPLICATIONS

Fibre-metal laminates (FMLs) are a multi-layered prominent class of hybrid composites gaining keen attention among researchers due to the combined advantages products used for aerospace and lightweight applications. This work involves one such investigation sandwich laminate aluminium sheets glass-fibre-reinforced thermoplastic (GFRP) core. FRPs can be conjoined with other materials enhance weight-to-strength forming performance reduce manufacturing costs. However, thickness reduction components makes FRP-to-metal amalgamation great challenge. The process warm embossing is imposed quality single-lap adhesive bonding in AA 6061 thin sheets. In this investigation, formability FML made GFRP predicted based on its deformation wrinkle formation when it processed during deep drawing. research paper deals analytical experimental results regarding prediction cause effect fabricated composite orientation angles (90°; 0°; 60°; 30°; –45°; 45°). method evaluation combines usage ANSYS PrepPost an explicit-dynamics module that bolsters designing, drafting analysis.
