A detailed experimental investigation was carried out for the high‐velocity ballistic response of AA 1100‐H14 based carbon‐fiber metal laminates (FMLs). FMLs with different metal volume fractions and the same thickness of carbon‐epoxy fiber laminates were tested to examine the surface and internal damage. The ballistic performance parameters, namely % escalation in absorbed energy, specific energy absorbed, ballistic limit, specific perforation energy, first cracking energy, and global deformation profile, were studied and a comparison was drawn with pure carbons fiber reinforced epoxy composite laminates. Despite having greater thickness, pure carbon fiber‐reinforced epoxy composite laminates absorbed less impact energy than FMLs and failed catastrophically. For FMLs, the % escalation in the absorbed energy and the specific energy absorption kept increasing with the increasing impact velocity until the onset of perforation. Once the perforation started, both these parameters showed a decreasing trend. Thick FMLs absorbed a good amount of energy, leading to projectile recoil suffering minimal damage. The ballistic velocity, specific perforation energy, and first cracking energy on the front and rear face of FMLs layers showed an increasing trend. The minimum for the thinner and maximum for the thicker FMLs attributed to the large thickness and more metal volume fraction. Contrary to the large deformation of the impacting points, pure carbon fiber‐reinforced epoxy composite laminates showed very minimal deformation as compared to FMLs. The brittle nature of the epoxy resin resisted the deformation to a large extent leading to less energy absorption.Highlights High‐velocity ballistic response of AA 1100‐H14 based carbon‐FMLs was investigated. Ballistic performance parameters of FMLs were studied and was compared with carbons fiber reinforced composite laminates. The ballistic limit of FMLs showed a direct dependence its thickness and metal volume fraction. In the absence of any metallic layer, pure carbons fiber reinforced composite laminates absorbed less impact energy.

“…Quadratic elements with 4 nodes (QUAD4) were used for meshing of all the plates including Ti6Al4V sheet, aluminum alloys sheet, and carbon/epoxy composite. As a result of a mesh convergence study by using various mesh size, the mesh sizes for all plates were set to 0.9mm to provide the approximate residual values in the experiment reported in the literature [27]. The meshing of the hybrid composite laminate structure shown in Figure 1b to clearly distinguish each layer of carbon-fiber/epoxy, each layer was given in a different color.…”

“…In this article, the ballistic limit velocity (V 50 ) and the energy absorption results of the Ti6Al4V/carbon fiber/epoxy composite laminates in two different stacking sequences obtained by the simulation were compared with the experimental results in the literature [27] to validate the implemented Finite Element Model (FEM). Furthermore, the ballistic performance of the three types of aluminium alloy (Al 2024-T3, Al 6061-T6 and Al 7075-T6) composite plates with three different types of stacking sequences were simulated by the verified FEM and evaluated the effects of different types of metal alloys and the stacking sequences on the ballistic behavior of the metal alloys-based fiber metal laminates.…”

FMLs structures have been manufactured using various metal constituents namely aluminium, magnesium, titanium, and stainless steel [5][6][7][8]. Aramid Fiber Reinforced Aluminium Laminates (ARALL), Carbon Fiber Reinforced Aluminium Laminates (CARALL), and Glass Fiber Reinforced Aluminium Laminates (GLARE) are well-known aluminium based FMLs composites. Hoo et al. [9] investigated the ballistic limit and energy absorption of GLARE panels which consist of 2024-T3 aluminium alloy sheets and S2-glass/epoxy laminates subjected to impact by blunt titanium cylinders. They have found that the ballistic limit of GLARE was higher than bare 2024-T3 aluminium alloy. The high velocity impact behavior of aluminium 2024-T3 alloy, Glass Fiber Reinforced Polypropylene (GFPP) and aluminium foam hybrid structure was studied by Villanueva and Cantwell [10].

Hybrid fiber reinforced composites leverage the advantages of various material properties to enhance ballistic protection efficiency. This paper investigates the ballistic penetration behavior of UHMWPE and UHMWPE/carbon fiber reinforced composites. By conducting ballistic experiments and finite element simulations, the failure behaviors of bulletproof composites are analyzed. Continuum models and mesoscale models were established to predict the V‐50 and impact damage of composites. The mesoscale model includes the geometric shapes of fibers and matrix, fiber volume fraction and failure behavior. Compared with experimental results, the mesoscale model predicted the V‐50 with a minimum deviation of 3%. The main damage patterns, including fiber breakage, matrix cracking and delamination, are displayed in the post‐impact morphology and models of bulletproof composites. Mesoscale models are used to describe energy dissipation and microstructure behavior, while homogenized continuum models are employed to observe macroscopic damage. Both simulations and experiments indicated that the overall structure and inherent properties affect stress transfer, damage mode and energy dissipation mechanisms during bullet impact processes. The combination of both two models deepens the understanding of the ballistic performance and damage evolution of fiber composites, providing novel insights for improving ballistic performance in fiber composites.Highlights Uniform continuous model and the mesoscale model were combined to explore the impact damage.
