“…Epoxy matrix resin (Eploam 5015/5015 supplied by Axson Technologies, Shanghai, China) was used to reinforce carbon fabrics and to bond them with the titanium layer by the hand lay-up process. In order to enhance the bonding between Ti sheet and CFRP, the titanium sheets were annealed in a furnace at 500 • C for 8 h to form an 8 µm oxide layer [14]. Four plies of carbon fabric were placed between two titanium sheets, and the titanium sheets were aligned such that their rolling directions were parallel, as shown in Figure 1a.…”

“…The ballistic velocity limit (V b ), which is defined as the lowest impact velocity required for complete perforation, was found for each TFML sample by impacting the sample at different velocities ranging from no perforation to complete perforation. Detailed information about the experimental test methodology can be found in reference [14].…”

“…Including excellent strength-to-weight ratio, low density and better corrosion resistance, the lower thermal expansion coefficient of titanium alloy [13] in combination with carbon fiber-reinforced polymer extend the application of TFML to high temperature environments. A recent experimental study explored the role of different fiber reinforcements on the ballistic response of TFML [14]. The incorporation of high flexible, high strength and low interlaminar shear resistant UHMPWE fiber layer was found to increase the ballistic limit by up to 30% more than the TFML of the same aerial weight made from carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) layer.…”

“…In this motive, this article investigates the dynamic perforation behavior caused by ballistic impact loading of TFML samples made of different stacking arrangement through finite element simulation. The fidelity of obtained numerical results were compared with residual velocity of projectile and post-damage experimental results [14]. Some insight details, such as the contact force history, energy dissipation mode, damage surface of each material layers and their constituents, which are feasible solely by numerical simulation, are presented.…”

The present paper gives details of the structural response of titanium-based fiber metal laminates (TFML) subjected to high velocity impact. Dynamic perforation behavior of two different sample configurations, TFML-2/1 and 3/2 are presented. The behavior of the metal and composite layer is defined using two independent appropriate constitutive material models. Both experimental and numerically predicted residual velocity follows the Recht-Ipson model variation with impact velocity. Being larger in thickness, residual velocity, peak contact force and total energy absorbed were found to be larger for TFML-3/2 than 2/1. However, the contact duration was rather insignificantly affected. Having similar metal volume fraction (MVF), energy dissipated by means of plastic deformation of metal layers was found to be constant for both TFML configurations that were considered. The axisymmetric loading, boundary conditions and having balanced material property distribution along the principle axes resulted in doubly symmetric damage surfaces, both layer-wise and overall. The developed finite element (FE) model adequately simulated the contact behavior and all of the experimentally realized damage modes in the metal and composite layers and confirmed its reliability. Having limited experimental information, the obtained numerical information allows one to briefly understand the dynamic perforation behavior of TFML laminates.

“…GLARE and other FMLs excel thanks to a combination of improved impact (relative to the composite) and fatigue strength (relative to the metal). Since the introduction of GLARE, several other variants of FMLs have been suggested and studied, including high strength variants like TiGr combining titanium alloys and carbon fiber reinforced composites (CFRP), aluminum/CFRP or steel/CFRP materials, and combinations of magnesium with GFRP layers . In terms of reinforcing fibers, besides glass and carbon, for example, basalt, aramide, polypropylene, or ultra high molecular weight polyethylene as well as different kinds of natural fibers have been considered .…”

Fiber metal laminates (FMLs) are a class of hybrid materials consisting of several thin metal layers bonded by layers of composite material. In the present study, the ballistic limit, absorbed energy, specific perforation energy and failure mechanism of FML 2/1 (Al/GFRE/Al) and FML 3/2 (Al/GFRE/Al/GFRE/ Al) are numerically and experimentally studied under the high-velocity impact loading using a single-stage light gas gun. In addition, the ballistic behavior of FML 2/1 and FML 3/2 is investigated using three different projectile nose geometries. Numerical simulation of the ballistic tests was performed to determine the residual velocity and the FML panel failure mechanism by using AUTODYN. The results indicated that the highest ballistic limit for FML 2/1 and FML 3/2 was obtained for the conical nosed projectile and the ballistic limit of FML 3/2 was 75.63% higher than FML 2/1. Although the FML 3/2 thickness is ~67% higher than FML 2/1, the specific perforation energy of FML 3/2 is improved by 72.51%, 55.26%, and 89.22% compared to FML 2/1 for blunt, hemispherical, and conical nosed projectiles, respectively.
