Thermal cycling of (heated) fibre metal laminates

Experimental and Numerical Evaluation of Thermal Performance of Steered Fibre Composite Laminates

Effect of Thermal Properties on Delaminated Fibre Metal Laminate

An attempt is made to analyse the effect of variation in thermal properties in Fibre Metal Laminate with an implanted delamination. This work focuses to explore the variations in thermal contrast for the increase in values of thermal properties of delamination, Aluminium layers and glass reinforced epoxy layers. The paper projects the numerical investigations towards the thermal analysis of fib...

Fatigue Resistance of Composite Fibre-metal Laminates Subjected to Impact Loading

GLARE (GLAss REinforced) belongs to a family of fibre-metal laminates currently being used as a skin material for the upper and side shells in the forward and rear fuselage body of A380. This composite material consists of thin layers of aluminium sheets and unidirectional prepreg layers of glass fibres embedded into an epoxy based matrix. GLARE demonstrates excellent resistance to fatigue crac...

Micronutrient Cycling Metal CyCling

Introduction This module is the seventh in a series of Extension materials designed to provide Extension agents, Certified Crop Advisers (CCAs), consultants, and producers with pertinent information on nutrient management issues. To make the learning ‘active,’ and to provide credits to CCAs, a quiz accompanies this module. In addition, realizing that there are many other good information source...

Flexural and Impact Properties of Stainless Steel based Glass Fibre Reinforced Fibre Metal Laminate under Hygrothermal Conditioning

Fibre metal laminates (FMLs) have appeared as the most suitable materials for shipbuilding, aeronautical and aerospace applications due to their superior mechanical properties over traditional materials. In this paper, degradation in flexural and impact properties of glass fibre/epoxy composite (GF/E composite) and stainless steel glass fibre/epoxy fibre metal laminate (SS FML) due to hygrother...
