Description:
Aircraft structures are prone to impact damages and one of the several methods to overcome this, is to use Fibre Metal Laminates in the construction of structures. Fibre Metal Laminates is a new class of advanced aerospace materials. They consist of thin metallic sheets bonded together with fibre reinforced adhesive matrices. In this work, strength characteristics of fibre metal laminates and fibre laminates are studied and compared as follows; Case I - Fibre metal laminate (Top & Bottom layers of 0.3 mm thick aluminium alloys sheets + 5 layers of (0/90/0/90/0) cross ply glass fibre laminates) is compared with 7 layers of (0/90/0/90/0/90/0) crossply glass fibre laminates and Case II - Fibre metal laminate ( Top & bottom layers of 0.3 mm thick aluminium alloy sheets + 7 layers of (0/90/0/90/0/90/0) crossply glass fibre laminates) with 9 layers of (0/90/0/90/0/90/0/90/0) crossply glass fibre laminates. The specimens are fabricated such that the seven layers FML and seven l...
