“…Increasing the volume fraction of the composite material in the FML resulted in an increase in the tensile strength, but a decrease in the tensile modulus [16]. Tensile tests conducted by Carrillo and Cantwell [17] using a thermoplastic-matrix FML, based on a self-reinforced polypropylene composite, indicated that such a FML gave a higher strength than simply a self-reinforced polypropylene thermoplastic composite with a unidirectional orientation. When compared to a monolithic aluminium alloy plate, for the same areal dimensions, the FML typically possessed a higher ductility but a lower strength [17].…”

The maximum stresses and strains at failure of the FML were found to be independent of the fibre orientation and were mainly dependent on the volume fraction of the metal layers present.…”

“…Low-velocity impact tests were performed on propylene-based FMLs by Carrillo and Cantwell [17] at a constant impact velocity of 5.2 m s -1 . Different levels of impact energy (up to 8.1 J) were achieved by changing the mass of the drop-weight carriage.…”

“…Different levels of impact energy (up to 8.1 J) were achieved by changing the mass of the drop-weight carriage. These FMLs were found to offer a high relatively level of energy absorption, with damage occurring in the form of thinning of the aluminium alloy layers and fracture of the composite layers [17]. Santiago et al [22] investigated both thermoplastic-and thermosetbased FMLs and found that, when subjected to impact loading, thermoplastic-based FMLs were able to absorb more energy compared to a thermosetbased FML with the same areal density.…”

High-velocity impact deformation and perforation of fibre metal laminates

The quasi-static flexural and impact performance, up to projectile impact velocities of about 270 m s -1 , of fibre metal laminates (FMLs), which consist of relatively thin, alternately stacked, layers of an aluminium alloy and a thermoset glass fibre epoxy composite, have been investigated. The effects of varying (a) the yield strength, tensile strength and ductility of the aluminium alloy layer, (b) the surface treatment used for the aluminium alloy layers and (c) the number of layers present in the FML have been studied. It was found that increasing the strength of the aluminium alloy increases the quasi-static flexural strength of the FML, providing that good adhesion is achieved between the metal and the composite layers. Further, increasing the number of alternating layers of the aluminium alloy and fibre composite also somewhat increases the quasi-static flexural properties of the FML. In contrast, increasing the strength of the aluminium alloy had relatively little effect on the impact perforation resistance of the FML, but increasing the number of alternating layers of aluminium alloy and fibre composite did significantly increase the impact perforation resistance of the FML. The degree of adhesion achieved between the layers had only a negligible influence on the impact perforation resistance.

Galvanic Corrosion and Mechanical Behavior of Fiber Metal Laminates of Metallic Glass and Carbon Fiber Composites

2017

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The possibility of galvanic corrosion typically prohibits the pairing of carbon fiber and aluminum in a fiber metal laminate (FML). In this study, the authors describe a new type of FML comprised of alternating layers of bulk metallic glass (BMG) and carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composite. The authors compare the galvanic coupling and mechanical behavior of an Al-based FML and a BMG-CFRP FML. Results show that when paired with CFRPs, BMG exhibits far less galvanic corrosion than aluminum paired with CFRP. In fact, the corrosion between BMG and CFRP is similar in magnitude to the corrosion between aluminum and glass fiber, the two constituent materials of GLARE, the most widely used FML. While interlaminar shear strength and flexural strength are similar for both FML types, the tensile strength and modulus of BMG-based FMLs are greater than those of Albased FMLs.

Producing structures, which have composite features (high strength and stiffness with low density) and metal properties (high toughness and deformability), was the idea, which resulted to introduce the fiber metal laminates (FMLs) as new advanced materials. [1] In these materials, the metals and composites can stick to each other by using polymeric adhesive agents. In most cases, the metals are used as the skins and the composites as the core of these structures. [2] The adhering can be done by the same used resin into the composite section or using another adhesive agent. The carbon-reinforced aluminum laminate (CARALL), [3] aramid-reinforced aluminum laminate (ARALL), [4] and glass laminate aluminum-reinforced epoxy (GLARE) [5] are the most favorable FMLs, which are reinforced by carbon, aramid, and glass fibers, respectively. Although these famous structures can respond to all mechanical properties, however, environmental issues like recycling these structures are one of the important limitations of FMLs.Although many attempts have been done to reduce these limitations, however, after recycling, most of the fibers lose their initial mechanical properties. [6] For this reason, other types of fibers like mineral or plant-based fibers have been developed to use in the composite core of FMLs. [7] One of the suitable fibers for this purpose can be basalt fibers. The comparison between the mechanical properties of basalt and glass fibers was done by Deák and Czigány. [8] The reported results in this work showed that tensile strength, elastic modulus, and strain at the breaking of basalt fibers (Kamenny Vek Co., Russia) were 2016 MPa, 61.9 GPa, and 3.56%, respectively, whereas these properties in glass fibers (Skoplast Ltd., Slovakia) were 1472 MPa, 57 GPa, and 2.71%, respectively. This shows that basalt fibers have higher mechanical properties than glass fibers. Also, the production costs of basalt fibers are lower than carbon fibers. [9] The higher thermal stability and environment friendliness are other features of basalt fibers. [10] Having these features encouraged the researchers to use these fibers in various novel FMLs. For example, Ferrante et al. [11] characterized the impact properties of basalt fibers/aluminum FML through a low-velocity impact test. In another interesting work, Medjahed et al. [12] fabricated the FML with the basalt fibers/phthalonitrile composite and an Al-Li alloy. Then, they characterized the mechanical and gamma-ray shielding performances of this FML.In the admirable work, Mottaghian et al. [13] used the FMLs as the skin of polyurethane-based sandwich panels to enhance the postbuckling performance of sandwich structures. It is worth noting that the hybrid basalt-glass fibers/epoxy composite as core and steel or magnesium metals as skins were used in these FMLs.
