Abstract:Fibre metal laminates are sandwich materials comprised of a fibre-reinforced composite and a metal alloy. These advanced materials offer superior properties compared to the monolithic constituents; primarily, improved specific strength and stiffness compared to metals and improved impact and fatigue resistance when compared to composite materials. The use of these advanced materials is currently restricted to specialised applications where the superior properties justify the high cost of manufacturing. The for… Show more
