“…Recently, these forming methods were utilised to form steel-based FMLs, but the latest research papers have been focused mainly on aluminium-based composites. Researchers consider the configuration of the material layers [374][375][376][377] or the process parameter setup [86,[378][379][380][381][382][383][384][385][386] to reduce material defects and go beyond the current forming limits caused mainly by breakage and wrinkling. In order to improve the formability of the layers of FRP, many studies are focused on die forming at elevated temperatures [387][388][389].…”

“…An optimal blank holder gap (1.1 mm), 0.1 mm lower than the blank thickness (1.2 mm), and a blank holder force in the range from 3 to 6 kN was selected, achieving 31mm forming depth of semi-cured GLARE. Liu et al [374] focused on the effect of fibre orientation on the stamp forming process of GLARE composites. FML blank containing multi-directional fibre layers (0/45−45/90 • ) achieved better formability depth (42 mm) than unidirectional ones (35 mm).…”

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.

“…Because of its distinct perfect advantages such as high performance, great specific strength (strengthto-weight ratio), and superior longevity, extensive research has been conducted in recent decades for obtaining light weight parts and structures, particularly for the military, automobile, marine, and also industries of aerospace [9,10]. The idea behind the application of FMLs is the combination of the suitable properties of metals and fiber reinforced composites (FRCs) [11,12].…”

Glass laminate aluminum reinforced epoxy (GLARE) mixes a layer of aluminum with fiber-reinforced epoxy to constitute a hybrid composite. During this investigation, plain E-glass fiber/epoxy specimen in addition to hybrid composite laminated epoxy specimens reinforced with both E-glass fiber and wire meshes of aluminum were produced. Tensile, bending, and hardness tests were performed to investigate how inserting Al wire meshes through thickness of the specimen in place of glass fiber layers affected the material mechanical characteristics. The characteristics of the generated hybrid laminates represented by strength and ductility were greatly influenced by varying the position and orienting direction of the aluminum wire mesh ply. Inclusion of Al wire mesh in the outer layers significantly causes deterioration in material tensile and bending strengths. The tensile strain as well as bending strain, on the other hand, were improved as a result of incorporating Al wire meshes by 51.3 percent and 153.4 percent, respectively.

“…Still regarding the formability of the FMLs, Mennecart et al [15] studied the effects of fibers and concluded that because of contacting the fibers with metal blanks, the formability of FMLs will be reduced. Liu et al [16] studied the effect of fiber orientation on the formability of FMLs and concluded that the unidirectional and multidirectional fiber in the middle layer has important effects on the thinning of FMLs. Jalali Aghchai and Khatami [17] studied the effect of skin and core thickness on the formability of FML and showed that the average formability increases with doubling of core and skin thickness.…”

Creep Age Forming of Fiber Metal Laminates: Effects of Process Time and Temperature and Stacking Sequence of Core Material

Fiber metal laminates (FMLs) are a type of hybrid materials interlacing composites and metals. In the present work, FMLs with aluminum alloy 6061 as the skin and E-glass fiber-reinforced polypropylene (PP) as the core material are fabricated and formed by the creep age forming (CAF) process. The effects of time and temperature as the process parameters and thickness and stacking sequences of composites layers as the FML parameters are evaluated on the springback of glass-reinforced aluminum laminates (GLARE) FMLs. After the CAF process, the springback of creep age-formed FMLs is calculated. The results show that the FMLs can be successfully formed with the CAF process by considering appropriate time and temperature. In addition, the stacking sequence of composite layers can affect the springback behavior of FMLs significantly.
