In the realm of aerospace design and performance, there are few boundaries in the never-ending drive for increased performance. This thirst for ever-increased performance of aerospace equipment has driven the aerospace and defense industries into developing exotic, extremely highperformance composites that are pushing the envelope in terms of strength-to-weight ratios, durability, and several o...

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...

Composite materials such as fiber metal laminates combine the advantages of metallic and fiber-reinforced polymers. Hence, these are great interest for thin-walled structures in lightweight engineering. Due to structure materials, damage laminate components occur more frequently inside than with conventional materials. Since detection interlaminar is complicated compared external damage, it one...

Abstract The reduction of weight elements is considered as a major objective several manufacturing companies. This will help in growing application sections the used fiber composites for important structural elements. Modern metal laminate (FML) having lightweight properties established to be instead other substances different applications including those related aerospace industrial sector. Fi...

In this research, effect of opening on the buckling of FMLs (Fiber Metal Laminate) is studied. Samples are made of a laminate, epoxy resin reinforced with four layers of woven basalt fibers, inserted between two Al plates. Different samples are prepared, tested and studied; one group without opening and the other two groups with circular openings of radii 10 and 20 mm. In all samples buckling i...

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 wei...
