Excellent Adhesion

This papers examines the interfacial fracture properties of a new fibre-metal laminate based on glass fibre reinforced polypropylene (GFPP). Tests have shown that excellent adhesion between aluminium and GFPP can be achieved by incorporating a maleic-anhydride modified polypropylene interlayer between the composite and aluminium layers. Single cantilever beam tests have shown that the fracture energy of these systems initially increases with loading rate and then decreasing. In spite of this, the fracture energy is extremely high at all rates.

The aim of this paper is to investigate the interfacial fracture properties of a novel fibre-metal laminate based on a unidirectional glass fibre reinforced polyamide 6,6 composite. Interfacial fracture tests using a modified single cantilever beam geometry have shown that good adhesion between the aluminium and glass fibre polyamide plies can be achieved using a simple stamping operation. Further testing has shown that the basic fracture properties of this system do not depend on the cooling rate employed during consolidation of the laminates.

The Impact

This paper describes the results of falling weight impact tests (FWITs) on glass-fibre-reinforced (GRP) laminates and E-glass/Dyneema® hybrid laminates. The test programme consisted of (i) falling weight impact tests to determine the penetration energy and (ii) experiments to determine the influence of hybrid construction on damage development and impact fatigue lifetime under repeated impact conditions at sub-penetration energy levels. The objective of this work was to investigate the effect of hybridisation on the impact behaviour of GRP laminates as well as to find optimal conditions for hybridisation. It was shown that in the case of a rigid test set-up - and hence small deflections - the influence of the Dyneema® on the impact behaviour of hybrid laminates is rather small because damage processes are the result of local contact stresses in the vicinity of the impact body, whereas in the case of a compliant test set-up and large deflections the high energy storage capacity of the ductile Dyneema® fibres is used far more effectively for the protection of hybrid composite laminates. Therefore, it was concluded that in order to fully utilise the potential of high-performance polyethylene fibres it is essential that these fibres are located on the (non-impacted) tensile side of an impacted laminate and that the geometrical test conditions are such that large (bending) deformations are allowed.
