“…e service environment of the FMLs varies a lot in many industries; researchers need to highly restore the service conditions in order to obtain more accurate experimental results. For example, after exposure to ultraviolet or humid air, the chemical composition of the surface of the material may change, thereby greatly reducing the life of the material [14,[130][131][132]. erefore, it is suggested that the influence of environmental factors on FMLs in future research work should be studied.…”

“…Lightweight aircraft and automotive structures can not only greatly reduce fuel consumption and environmental pollution but also effectively improve the service life of key components [6,7]. Among them, FML, which was made of metal plates and fiber composite materials through hot pressing and curing, has attracted the attention of researchers for its excellent mechanical properties and weight reduction effect [4,[8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15], as shown in Figure 1.…”

Fiber metal laminate (FML) is a kind of lightweight material with excellent mechanical properties combining advantages of metal laminates and fiber reinforced composites. It has been widely used in the aerospace and transportation fields and is especially used as structural material such as aircraft skins, wings, and tails. However, under complex service conditions, interlaminar failure in FMLs greatly reduced mechanical properties of the material, even leading to serious economic and safety disasters. The failure and destruction of important structural parts of aircraft and other manned transportation vehicles are extremely unsafe for people. Therefore, it is of great significance to summarize the interlaminar failure behavior of FMLs and find ways to avoid these defects. This review paper is a collection of various researches done by many groups, which systematically discuss the interlaminar failure behaviors and their control methods of FMLs. The application status of several common FMLs in aircraft structures was given. The common interlaminar failure modes of FMLs and the testing and evaluation methods of interlaminar properties were stated. The failure mechanisms and the corresponding control methods were analyzed. Finally, the future developments of FMLs were also discussed by the authors. Through this review article, readers can obtain new research progress about the control method, the mechanism and future development on the failure behavior of FMLs in a more efficient way.

“…Polyester resins are the most widely used resin capable of being cured from a liquid or solid state when subject to the right thermoset conditions. The study of thermal characteristics and low velocity drop weight impact property of flax fiber has good evaluation up to 300 °C and 2500N, the case of fire resistance there is good observation seen for flax fiber [1]. The experimental study on fluid structure interaction to evaluate the dynamic response of the composite [2].The effect of water absorption in the basalt/flax composite reinforced with vinyl ester matrix depends upon the fiber loading conditions, similarly interlaminar fracture is said to be an important factor [3].…”

The knowledge of mechanical properties of reinforced hybrid composites is very abundant, even though this could be one of the critical issues for many practical applications. This paper has the detailed study and a road to know more about the flax/glass fiber composites and its review on the appliance, property oriented with some of the special properties of the fiber. However, the occurrence of flax fiber is in the cooler regions of western country the worth of flax was more in the replacement of synthetic fibers as a replica of its own property in the application purposes Therefore, the current study was conducted to investigate the strength and performance of glass and flax fiber reinforced hybrid composite by a comprehensive set of experiments. The method of preparation to prepare the composite is by compression molding technique. The final result conclude that (48%flax/32% glass) has maximum tensile strength with the sample id 5,(50%flax/50%glass) has maximum flexural strength for the sample id 6 and the impact strength is for the ample id 7 (24%flax/56%glass) fiber composites.

“…Like fiber-reinforced polymers (FRPs), FMLs are characterized by high tensile strength and low density [2,3]. However, thanks to the properties of the metallic layers, FMLs feature improved resistance to impact [4], higher buckling loads [5], and lesser sensitivity to environmental effects [6,7] with respect to FRPs. During the last decades, an increasing number of FML applications have been developed, particularly in the aerospace sector [8].…”

An experimental campaign on glass-fiber/aluminum laminated specimens was conducted to assess the interlaminar fracture toughness of the metal/composite interface. Asymmetric end-notched flexure tests were conducted on specimens with different fiber orientation angles. The tests were also modeled by using two different analytical solutions: a rigid interface model and an elastic interface model. Experimental results and theoretical predictions for the specimen compliance and energy release rate are compared and discussed.Metals 2020, 10, 56 2 of 17 the elastic interface model including bending-extension and shear deformability [15]. Valvo analyzed the delamination of shear-deformable laminated beams with bending-extension coupling based on a rigid interface model [16]. Tsokanas and Loutas extended the above-mentioned analysis to include the effects of crack-tip rotations and hygrothermal stresses [17]. Bennati et al. furnished a complete analytical solution for a crack-tip element made of two multidirectional laminated beams connected by an elastic-brittle interface [18].Moreover, many experimental investigations have been carried out to characterize the delamination behavior of FMLs [19][20][21][22]. Cortés and Cantwell conducted single cantilever beam (SCB) tests on magnesium alloy based FMLs [19]. Abdullah et al. carried out similar tests on glass fiber-reinforced polypropylene (GFPP) based FMLs [20]. Bieniaś et al. conducted end-notched flexure (ENF) tests on CARALL and GLARE laminated specimens and used Valvo's rigid interface model to interpret their results [21]. Bieniaś and Dadej extended the previous research to investigate fatigue delamination growth [22].However, it is long known that a rigid interface model, which neglects the relative rotation and deflection between sublaminates in the neighborhood of the crack-tip, may underestimate the ENF specimen compliance with respect to experimental tests and therefore lead to a wrong evaluation of the energy release rate [23]. To overcome this drawback, Sundararaman and Davidson introduced rotational springs at the crack-tip in a theoretical model of bi-material ENF test specimens [24]. Yang and Sun tested and modeled multidirectional laminated asymmetric end-notched flexure (AENF) test specimens accounting for bending-extension coupling, but did not partition the energy release rate into its mode I and mode II contributions [25]. To the best of our knowledge, in the available literature, there are no specific analytical solutions for multidirectional laminated asymmetric ENF tests that fully account for the bending-extension coupling and mixed-mode fracture conditions.In this paper, we present the results of AENF tests on multidirectional glass fiber-reinforced polymer/aluminum (GFRP/Al) specimens and show how these can be interpreted based on both the rigid [16] and elastic [18] interface models. Section 2 describes the geometry and material properties of the tested specimens. Section 3 presents the experimental methods and the theoretical models adopted for...
