“… 32 The superior performance of basalt fiber-reinforced composites as a relatively low-cost and effective class of composite material has been demonstrated in. 33 Besides their lower cost and superior mechanical properties, basalt fibers also offer several advantages such as being environmentally sustainable, excellent adhesion properties to resins, good resistance against fire and wear, and remarkable heat/sound insulation properties. 24 , 33 The abovementioned facts further justify the necessity for research in joining such robust, effective and economical hybrid materials.…”

A quick literature search reveals the significant lack of data and information concerning magnesium-to-magnesium bonded joints as well as fiber-metal laminates (FMLs) made with magnesium alloys. Therefore, a systematic series of experimental and numerical investigations are carried out to assess the performance of single-lap joints mating FML adherends. The primary goal is to better understand the effects of geometrical and material parameters that influence the performance of magnesium-to-magnesium joints. The FML adherends used in this study consist of basalt natural fiber-epoxy laminate sandwiched in between thin sheets of magnesium alloys, which were subsequently adhesively bonded using a room-cured epoxy resin. The effects of two types of surface treatments, namely, “sandblasting” and “sandblasting with resin coating” on the bond strength and failure mechanism of the adhesively bonded joints (ABJs) are investigated. A 3D numerical model developed to simulate the response of the joints subjected to quasi-static lap-shear tests. This model, which accounts for the material and geometrical nonlinearity in the joints, is used to perform a parametric analysis for establishing the optimal overlap bond length. The distributions of the shear and peel stresses in the overlap region and the effects of adhesive thickness on the performance of the joints are systematically examined. The comparison of the experimental data and numerical results confirms the robustness and cost-effectiveness of the numerical model in predicting the response of such single-lap ABJs.

“…Among these, we distinguish two groups. The first group consists of composites based on aluminium, while the second group consists of composites in which other metals are used, such as magnesium [4][5][6], titanium [7,8], or steel [9][10][11]. The most commercially available FMLs are glass reinforced aluminium laminates (GLARE), aramid reinforced aluminium laminate (ARALL), and carbon reinforced aluminium laminate (CARALL).…”

Fibre metal laminates, hybrid composite materials built up from interlaced layers of thin metals and fibre reinforced adhesives, are future-proof materials used in the production of passenger aircraft, yachts, sailplanes, racing cars, and sports equipment. The most commercially available fibre–metal laminates are carbon reinforced aluminium laminates, aramid reinforced aluminium laminates, and glass reinforced aluminium laminates. This review emphasises the developing technologies for forming hybrid metal–polymer composites (HMPC). New advances and future possibilities in the forming technology for this group of materials is discussed. A brief classification of the currently available types of FMLs and details of their methods of fabrication are also presented. Particular emphasis was placed on the methods of shaping FMLs using plastic working techniques, i.e., incremental sheet forming, shot peening forming, press brake bending, electro-magnetic forming, hydroforming, and stamping. Current progress and the future directions of research on HMPCs are summarised and presented.

“…[22,23] For instance, basalt fibers have been recognized as an effective alternative to glass fibers for the fabrication of cost-effective laminate composites. [24,25] Accordingly, the present study is conducted based on three main objectives. The first objective is to investigate the efficacy of a widely used epoxy matrix in conjunction with Elium to produce effective environmentally friendly basalt fiber-reinforced laminate composites for structural applications.…”

“…It should be noted that one of the major focuses of research in our group in the past 7 years has been the characterization of the mechanical response of a novel group of FMLs under static and dynamic loading conditions. [24,[26][27][28][29][30][31][32] Therefore, the second objective is to investigate the mechanical properties of a new class of cost-effective and environmentally friendly FML that could be fabricated by the aforementioned fiber and resin constituents combined with stainless steel (SS) sheets. Finally, the last objective of the present investigation is to determine the influence of two different fabrication processes on the mechanical properties of the TP-FML.…”

A comparative performance study is conducted to better understand the mechanical performance of an environmentally friendly composite and its fiber-metal laminate (FML) renditions developed with natural fibers (basalt), and a novel room-cured liquid methyl methacrylate thermoplastic resin (Elium ® ) and also by a widely used room-cured epoxy resin (West System).Mechanical characterizations are performed using tensile, buckling and flexural tests. The results indicate that the composites fabricated with the acrylicbased Elium matrix could be considered as effective alternatives to those produced by thermoset epoxy resins. Moreover, the mechanical properties of a new generation of thermoplastic fiber metal laminates (TP-FMLs) fabricated by vacuum-assisted resin infusion technique are also investigated. The TP-FMLs are fabricated using stainless steel sheets, basalt fabric and Elium.Two different procedures are considered for fabricating the TP-FMLs; a onestep process consuming 24 h curing cycle time and a two-step process with 72 h curing cycle time. The mechanical responses of the developed TP-FMLs are compared against their equivalent monolithic environmentally friendly basalt-Elium counterparts, demonstrating the gain in mechanical responses that could be attained by employing the TP-FMLs.
