Abstract:Fibre Metal Laminates (FMLs) are very interesting materials due to their light weight coupled with their high stiffness, high fatigue resistance, and high damage tolerance. However, the presence of the polymeric matrix in the composite layers and of polymeric adhesive at the metal/composite interface can constitute an Achille’s heel for this class of materials, especially when exposed to a hot environment or water. Therefore, in the present article, aluminium/carbon fibre FML specimens were produced, aged by c… Show more
