Thickness influence on ballistic impact behaviors of GLARE 5 fiber-metal laminated beams: Experimental and numerical studies

Effect of adhesive quantity on failure behavior and mechanical properties of fiber metal laminates based on the aluminum–lithium alloy

“…Generally, the theory of Metal Volume Fraction (MVF) [21], having been accepted to predict the tensile properties of FMLs, emphasizes that the whole performance of the FMLs is mainly dominated by the individual components [22]. However, according to our study above, the essential condition for MVF theory is to ignore the interlaminar failure.…”

Low velocity impact response of fibre-metal laminates – A review

“…Thus, it is quite clear that the impact response of FML varies with MVF and the dissimilar impact behavior of various GLARE and ARALL grades supported the above mentioned concept. Many experimental investigations stipulated the influence of MVF was documented [42,43]. Increasing the glass/epoxy content in GLARE increased the damage resistance and 15% increment in minimum cracking energy at low velocity and even higher (twice or thrice) at high velocity impact than monolithic aluminium [44].…”

An Innovative Procedure for Estimating Contact Force During Impact

“…Several material models have been developed for simulating the response behavior of concrete in impact conditions [Shugar et al, 1992]. Numerous FE models have also been developed for investigating the amount of forces generated by the impact of a solid object onto composite materials [Yaghoubi and Liaw, 2012;Her and Liang, 2004;Yaghoubi and Liaw, 2013;Menna et al, 2011;Liu and Swaddiwudhipong, 1997]. Smooth particle hydrodynamics (SPH) has been currently used for simulating high velocity penetration problems [Swaddiwudhipong et al, 2010;Liu et al, 2004].…”
