“…Various studies have reported on the mechanical properties of FMLs. [ 18–24 ] On contrary, the works related to the mechanical properties of FMLs with nanofillers is very limited. Zhang et al [ 25 ] investigated the influence of multi‐walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) on the flexural and impact performance of GLARE with 3/2 configuration.…”

The present study investigates the effect of halloysite clay nanotubes (HCNT S) on the mechanical properties of glass reinforced aluminum laminate (GLARE) as a very popular fiber metal laminate (FML). GLARE (3/2) with quasi-isotropic lay-up, [Al/[(0 /90)/(45 /−45)]s/Al/[(0 /90)/(45 /−45)]s/Al], filled with different wt% ofHCNTs (0, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, and 3 wt%) were fabricated using hand lay-up followed by compression molding. Tensile, flexural, and impact properties of the fabricated GLAREs were evaluated. The failure of the specimens was examined using field emissionscanning electron microscope (FE-SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) and visual inspection. Test results demonstrated that the incorporation of HCNTs improves the mechanical properties of GLARE. Among the studied wt%, the inclusion of 1 wt% of HCNTs to GLARE leads to maximum improvements of 35.67%, 8.50%, 28.85%, 50.47%, 50.27%, 30.43%, and 51.52% in tensile strength, tensile strain, Young's modulus, modulus of toughness, flexural strength, flexural strain, and impact strength, respectively, was attained by adding 1 wt% of HCNTs to GLARE compared to pristine GLARE. Meanwhile, increasing HCNT S content to 3 wt% reverse the trend. FESEM showed that, HCNT S are well dispersed in epoxy. However, a higher weight fraction of HCNT S in epoxy, that is, 3 wt% leads little agglomerations.

“…Among the FML composites developed and used in an aerospace industry in the past few decades were aramid fibre reinforced aluminium laminate composite (ARALL), glass fibre reinforced aluminium laminate (GLARE) and carbon fibre reinforced aluminium laminate (CARALL). Among these FML composites, some were used as secondary component of aircraft due to their brittle properties and used in military aircraft, while others were used in the primary structure due to their improved properties such as high compressive strength, tensile strength and excellent adhesion between the fibres of the composite and high resistance to loading on compression [10][11][12][13][14][15].…”

Two different properties of fibre-metal laminate composites (FML), including the fire behaviour and mechanical properties, were experimentally studied in this paper. The fibre-metal laminate composites studied were made of aluminium alloy 2024-T3, carbon fibre, flax, kenaf and epoxy resin/hardener arranged in different forms. The aims of the study are to assess the fire behaviour of the composites using ISO2685 standard and mechanical properties of the composite after withstanding the burn-through according to the standard. The fire test was carried out using ISO2685 standard using a propane-air burner, whereby the propane gas and air serves as the fluid to the system. The universal testing machine of the 100 kN load cell and gun tunnel were used for the mechanical properties test according to each test standard. The fire results showed that three of the FML composites considered in the study are fireproof composites while carbon fibre kenaf reinforced aluminium laminate (CARALL4) is a fire resistant composite. Carbon fibre reinforced aluminium laminate with aluminium alloy at the front and the rear face (CARALL2) withstood higher flame temperature than the other FML composites with 14.4%, 49.0% and 82.8% greater than CARALL1, CARALL3 and CARALL4 in terms of thermal conductivity. In terms of mechanical properties, it was also CARALL2 that has higher tensile, compressive, flexural and impact strength. Therefore, the study showed that carbon fibre flax reinforced aluminium laminate (CARALL3) which is the hybrid composite with green fibre can compete with fibre-metal laminate composites of pure synthetic fibre in terms of their properties.

“…Fibre metal laminates (FML) [5][6][7][8][9] consists of alternating layers of fibre reinforced polymer composites and metal alloys [10,11]. FMLs have improved resistance to impacts and environmental conditions due to the outer aluminium alloy layers [12][13][14][15].…”

Fibre-metal laminates (FMLs) offer advanced improvements over current available structural materials due to the excellent mechanical properties. In this work, the dynamic behaviour of the carbon fibre/epoxy, glass fibre/epoxy, aluminium 2024-T0, and fibre metal laminates were carried out. Furthermore, the different type of reinforced composites in FMLs and the effect of the layer sequence of metal layers were investigated. The composite laminates have been manufactured by a hot press machine. The free vibration tests were conducted to determine the dynamic characteristics of the samples. The accuracy of the experimental results was verified by comparing the numerical analysis results. The results indicate that the effect of thickness and the layer sequences of metal layers have a significant effect on the natural frequency of the FMLs.
