Fibre metal laminates (FML) play a significant role in the aircraft industry. The present work is to achieve a high load bearing structure and wear resistant FML for airbus cargo floors and doors. An innovative attempt has been made to reveal the mechanical and tribological properties of the FML (Glass/AZ91D/Glass). The glass fibre used is of bi-diagonal fabric to enhance the shear properties of the FML. The laminates were prepared by hand layup technique, which was post compressed to a uniform shape in the compression moulding machine. Mechanical tests such as tensile, flexural, and low-velocity impact were conducted on the FML samples. The mechanical properties of the magnesium-based FML exhibit an excellent tensile strength of 227.3 MPa, the flexural strength of 231.3 MPa, and the energy absorbed by the plate are 93.648 J. These results were promising, and comparatively better than the conventional laminates in the case of load bearing structures. The wear was tested in Pin-on-Disc and the wear resistance was also found to be better than conventional laminates. The micro-structural analysis along the wear regime shows a prominent wear resistance and fewer cracks, due to the presence of AZ91D in the laminates.

“…33 The fiber's orientation also influences the composite's strength. 34 Several potential applications of the GFRP are offshore, wind turbine blades, marine applications due to anticorrosive at saline environments and biomedical applications. [35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43] Although several studies have been carried out on GFRP composites to know the material's characterization, very minimal research is focused on the thermal energy dissipation of GFRP during mechanical testing.…”

This research focuses on the mechanical and thermal characterization of vacuum-assisted resin transfer moulded epoxy-based glass fiber-reinforced composites. Mechanical testing, including tensile and flexural tests, and heat dissipation analysis under the applied load, are used to analyse the prepared specimens. A thermal imaging camera is used to measure temperature changes to determine energy release, which significantly impacts the composite's surface energy in terms of heat. Differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetric analysis were used to examine the thermal stability and decomposition properties. It is noted that the glass transition temperature is 371.15°C, and the decomposition temperature is 380.90°C. Under a scanning electron microscope, the fractured specimens are examined for failure analysis. According to these results, the manufactured composite is suitable for various structural engineering applications.
