Abstract:Fiber/metal composites (FMCs) have attracted much attention over twenty years, especially in the applications to aerospace and aeromechanical structures. In addition to their advantages of fiber reinforced composites they also possess superior resistance to cyclic loadings. It is well-known known that conventionally the composite laminates are weak due to out-of-plane loads. Hence, vulnerability against high velocity impact loads is becoming an increasingly critical issue for the design of FMCs in aerospace st… Show more
