A Review on Finite-Element Simulation of Fibre Metal Laminates

“…Another approach is to use two-dimensional solid models, which can be a very effective way of reducing the demanding computational time due to the reduced number of nodes (or DOFs). Giallanza et al [37] used in ANSYS plane strain elements-PLANE182 for analysing fatigue behaviour of ENF specimen-such choice imply less complex computations. Due to the character of the fiber-metal laminates, the configuration is the same over the width of the specimens (plates).…”

“…Giallanza [37] analyzed fatigue behavior in ENF specimens using another approach-progressive damage with ANSYS ADPL. In this method, the damage parameter D can be determined for given number of cycles.…”

“…In this case, an adhesive layer is modelled as the contact behaviour between bonded layers rather than the layer itself. Giallanza [37] used such an approach in the ANSYS environment along with target elements (which further reduced computational cost). Dhaliwal et al [16] and Sasso et al [53] used shells for each layer and then defined contact with ties.…”

“…The idea of the experimental and numerical approach, in this case, is similar to that described for the DCB test. Exemplary papers: [37][38][39]. The ENF tests of FML materials can be based on the ASTM standard for classic laminates [40].…”

Industry 4.0: smart test bench for shipbuilding industry

“…Furthermore, the use of light-weight and strong materials such as Fig. 1 Kinematic configuration of the studied POD drivetrain fibre metal laminates or composite sandwich materials have led to significant reductions in weight [33][34][35][36][37].…”
