Manufacturing and impact resistance of Large-Scale stacked fibre metal laminates by Ding Tang, Haoyang Huang, Yitong Fan, Huamiao Wang, Yinghong Peng

“…For the Charpy impact, we compared the impact resistance of monolithic aluminium plates, laminated aluminium plates, carbon FMLs, and glass FMLs and observed a progressive increase in energy absorption across these types. Increasing the composite layer thickness shifted the initial failure mode from bottom fracture to shear failure of the middle layer, resulting in decreased energy absorption and increased bending modulus. …”
