Although drilling open holes in fibre metal laminates reduces weight, it brings potential crack
initiation sites. This paper investigates the effect of laser shock peening (LSP) on fatigue …

The fatigue life enhancement of fiber metal laminates (FMLs) through embedment of
nanofiller into the epoxy has not reported hitherto, and it is the subject of this investigation …

The life cycle of fibre metal laminates subjected to mechanical fatigue is commonly divided
into three stages: crack initiation, crack propagation, and final failure. However for some …

The constant amplitude fatigue life is predicted using the normalized fatigue stress with the
goodness of fit above 0.98. The crack initiation life was estimated based on the stress …

The new generation of aeronautical structural materials, fiber reinforced metal laminates
have drawn increasing interests to the researchers. In order to have an in-depth …

Layers of thin metallic sheets and fiber-reinforced composite layers bonded together is
known as fiber metal laminates (FMLs). In the current study, titanium Ti–6Al–4V sheets are …

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 …

In this paper, theoretical predictions of static and fatigue strength were performed and
validated experimentally of conventional and carbon/glass fibres reinforced hybrid fibre …

In this paper, the new analytical prediction models were proposed for assessment of static
strength and fatigue life of Fiber Metal Laminates (FMLs). The proposed static model …

The dynamic failure of fibre metal laminates was investigated experimentally. A projectile of
hemispherical head with a diameter of 36.5 mm was used to impact the fibre metal laminate …
