GLARE (glass-reinforced aluminum laminate) is a new class of fiber metal laminates for
advanced aerospace structural applications. It consists of thin aluminum sheets bonded …

The design of structures with a nonuniform stress field is of great industrial interest. The
ability of the size effect law and critical distance theories to predict the nominal strength of …

The demand for the use of carbon-fiber-reinforced materials in automotive industry is
increasing worldwide. However, a destructive galvanic corrosion is inevitable when carbon …

A methodology to design and optimise fibre metal laminates for improved fatigue and
damage tolerance properties is presented. The lay-ups are defined in a systematic manner …

Fibre reinforced metal laminates (FRMLs) are hybrid composite materials consisting of thin
metal sheets adhesively bonded together with fibre reinforced polymer composite layers …

In this paper, a galvanic corrosion-resistant carbon fiber metal laminate (CARALL) is
developed. Aluminum alloy 2024-T3 is selected as the metal layer. A surface treatment …

Effects of fibre/matrix adhesion and residual strength of notched polymer matrix composite
laminates (PMCLs) and fibre reinforced metal laminates (FRMLs) were investigated. Two …

The use of an insulating skirt to attenuate galvanic action between mechanically-coupled
6061-T6 aluminum (Al) and electrically conductive carbon fiber reinforced (CFR) polymer …

An experimental investigation was carried out on a fibreglass/aluminium (FGA) laminate in
order to characterise its behaviour under pin-and bolt-bearing conditions. In pin bearing, the …

Fiber metal laminate (FML) is a hybrid composite typical in aircraft industry. It is necessary to
effectively characterize the quasi‐static fracture performance of FML, considering the …
