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.

The Impact

Fiber Metal Laminates (FML) are structures that contain a sequential arrangement of metal and composite materials, which are of great interest to the aerospace sector due to the superior mechanical performance. The traditional manufacturing process for FML involves considerable investment in manufacturing resources depending on the design complexity of the desired components. To mitigate such limitations, 3D printing enables direct digital manufacturing to create FML with customized configurations. In this work, a preliminary mechanical characterization of additively-manufacturing-enabled FML has been investigated. A series of continuous glass fiber-reinforced composites were printed with a Markforged system and placed between layers of aluminum alloy to manufacture hybrid laminate structures. The laminates were subjected to tensile, interfacial fracture toughness, and both low-velocity and high-velocity impact tests. The results showed that the FMLs appear to have a good degree of adhesion at the metal-composite interface, although a limited intralaminar performance was recorded. It was also observed that the low and high-velocity impact performance of the FMLs was improved by 9–13% relative to that of the constituent elements. The impact performance of the FML appeared to be related to the fiber fracture, out of plane perforation and interfacial delamination within the laminates. The present study can provide an initial research foundation for considering 3D printing in the production of hybrid laminates for static and dynamic applications.

Fiber metal laminates (FMLs) offer significant improvement over current available materials for structure materials due the excellent mechanical properties. In this work, the dynamical mechanical properties of the carbon fiber/epoxy, glass fiber/epoxy, aluminium 2024-T0, and fiber metal laminates was carried out. The composite materials have been manufactured by hot press machine. Non-destructive testing techniques are being used in the characterization of composite materials. In this work, free vibration analyses by striking an impact hammer at the free end were conducted to determine the dynamic characteristics of the samples. The results show that combination glass fiber/epoxy with aluminium 2024-T0 offer greater natural frequency value compare to carbon fiber/epoxy with aluminium 2024-T0. The laminate thickness of play a dominant role in differences of natural frequency values.
