“…The FMLs have high elastic modulus comparing to FMLs due to reduce the number of layers and use carbon and glass fibers instead of jute fibers. The elastic modulus for the FMLs using Aluminium sheets with carbon fiber (2 GPa) is lower than the FMLs using aluminium sheets with carbon and glass fiber [13]. The values of yield strength can be showed in figure 6 for three specimens which indicates a variation from 169 to 179 MPa.…”

The Fiber Metal Laminates (FMLs) was studied and improved the mechanical properties were used for aircraft wing. The FMLs are consisting of metal sheets reinforced with fiber bonded by matrix phase. The FMLs consist of seven layers to produce the Hybrid composite materials that made from 2024-T3 Aluminuim sheets with carbon and glass fibers as reinforcement and bonded using adhesion materials that are locally manufactured from resole resin with adding using epoxy resin. By using the FMLs, the mechanical characteristics have been improved and the weight of the aircraft wing has been reduced. The mechanical characteristics have been improved comparing to other FMLs using commercial epoxy. The FMLs with carbon and glass fibers have high tensile strength and elastic modulus but low yield and elongation comparing with the FMLs of carbon fibers as a reinforcement. The flexural modulus and impact toughness is high for the FMLs with glass fiber comparing with jute fibers with adding using carbon fiber as areinforcement.The Aramid Reinforced Aluminum Laminates (ARALLs) have low fatigue strength than FMLs using carbon fiber as reinforcement. The FMLs are lower ratio of ultimate to yield strength and density than 2024-T3 Aluminum alloy that commonly used in aircraft wing.

“…Compared to polymer composites, FMLs show better strength, impact strength, and fracture toughness [46,64,212]. One of the major disadvantageous properties of FMLs is their susceptibility to delamination under unfavourable loads.…”

“…The FML production process uses various production methods, which depend mainly on the type of matrix (thermosetting or thermoplastic) due to significant differences in the properties of the polymers used [45,46]. The most common methods of manufacturing composites using thermosetting polymers include hand lay-up, forming with the use of a flexible vacuum bag or autoclave, infusion methods, low and high pressure pressing, and automated fibre placement (AFP).…”

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.

“…In particular, fiber metal laminates (FMLs, composed of aluminum sheets on the outside and fiber-reinforced composites on the inside) have been studied because these offer improved chemical resistance, flame resistance, specific strength, etc. [ 3 , 4 ]. Recently, it has become important to manufacture eco-friendly products following stringent environmental regulations.…”

Experimental Study on a Microwave Composite Forming Process Based on a SiC Mold for Manufacturing Fiber Metal Laminate

et al. 2021

The microwave composite forming (MCF) process can reduce manufacturing cost because the process time is reduced by the dielectric heating of the mold and the composite material. In a previous study, the MCF process using a commercial microwave oven with a polytetrafluoroethylene mold was applied. Disadvantages of the previous MCF process have been investigated. These included the difference in tensile properties according to the cutting location, absence of a method to measure temperature during the MCF process, and the fact that the input power cannot be controlled according to the temperature. To solve these problems, a microwave oven with a silicon carbide mold was proposed in this study. Uniaxial tensile tests were conducted to obtain the tensile properties of the fiber metal laminate (FML) specimen. In addition, a microscopic image was captured to investigate the non-adhesive area. The tensile properties and thickness distribution of the FML specimens manufactured by the proposed and previous MCF processes were compared according to the cutting location of the FML sheets. Furthermore, the non-adhesive area was quantified to compare the processes. The results revealed that the proposed MCF process improved the tensile properties of the FML specimen and reduced the non-adhesive area.
