“…The characteristics of FMLs are excellent stiffness and strength in relation to density, high fatigue strength (Alderiesten, 2019), resistance to dynamic loads (Li et al, 2023;Vieira et al, 2022), compression (Kalfountzos et al, 2022) and stretching (Sun et al, 2023). In addition, they are characterized by high resistance to environmental conditions including corrosion.…”

The widespread use of composite materials in the construction of machines encourages to better understand their properties and the impact of various external factors on these properties. Fibre metal laminates (FMLs) consist of alternating layers of metal and a polymer matrix laminate reinforced with continuous fibres. The aim of this work was to investigate the effect of cyclical temperature changes and thermal shocks (heating the sample to a high temperature in a short time) on the strength properties of FMLs from AW-1050A aluminium sheet, glass fibre fabric and carbon fibre fabric. The research concerns the determination of how cyclical temperature changes affect the tensile strengths properties of FMLs. The results indicate a small effect of the cycles on the tensile strength of the composites. The composites with glass fibre reinforced laminate also showed high resistance to delamination, moreover, the samples did not delaminate even after they were broken. The carbon fibre reinforced laminate composites showed a tendency to delaminate after heat treatment.

Fiber metal laminates (FMLs), which are constructed from thin metal sheets interspersed with fiber‐reinforced epoxy, are the focus of this study. Specifically, GLARE 2/1, which features a layer of glass fiber‐reinforced polymer (GFRP) sandwiched between two layers of Al 2024‐T3, is examined for its ballistic properties, particularly in aerospace applications. The effects of temperature and velocity on GLARE's ballistic performance are investigated through ballistic tests and simulations. The tests were carried out using a single‐stage light gas gun for three temperatures and seven impact velocities. The ballistic limit, specific absorbed energy (SAE), and failure modes of GLARE under high‐velocity impacts were analyzed in the investigation. Simulations of the ballistic tests were conducted using the LS‐DYNA hydrocode to examine the failure mechanisms and stress distribution within GLARE panels. The findings reveal that GLARE exhibits its highest ballistic limit at room temperature. Additionally, the SAE of GLARE samples decreases with increasing temperature; for instance, at an initial velocity of 167 m/s, the SAE at 60 and 100°C was reduced by 21% and 46%, respectively, compared to the SAE at room temperature. The simulations indicated that over 50% of the kinetic energy was absorbed by the rear Al 2024‐T3 (Al_2) layer of GLARE.Highlights Ballistic limit of GLARE decreased with increasing temperature. Higher impact velocities led to a plugging failure mechanism. SAE of GLARE reduced as temperature increased. Al_2 absorbed maximum kinetic energy across temperatures and velocities. Simulations showed Al_2 absorbed over 50% of kinetic energy.
