Recent advances in the automated manufacture of composite structures have renewed the
interest in fibre metal laminate (FML) structures in various engineering sectors. FML …

This two-part article scrutinizes the influence of metal layer distribution through the thickness
of titanium-based fiber metal laminates (FMLs) on their high-velocity projectile impact …

The ballistic limit velocity, energy absorption and the effects of facesheets thickness ratios for
three types of sandwich panels consist of titanium facesheet and aluminum honeycomb core …

Impact resistance is one of the basic properties of thin-walled coating structures that is of
vast importance in the aerospace industry. Being able to absorb the energy of impact force …

In this paper, high-velocity impact resistance of lightweight laminates with multi-layers of
carbon-fibre/epoxy laminates sandwiched by two titanium alloy skins and aluminium alloy …

Composite laminates offer the potential for reducing the weight of civil aircrafts. However, a
major hazard to civil aviation is bird-strike impact damage. In this paper, bird-strike impact …

Damage can significantly modify the behaviour of composites laminates subjected to high-
velocity impacts. Due to the high energy-absorption capability and low density of …

In this paper, shields made of 1.3964 stainless steel bonded to a fiber laminate were
subjected to ballistic impact response of 7.62× 51 mm ŁPS (light projectile with a lead core) …

This paper aims to investigate the low-velocity impact (LVI) failure mechanism of fibre metal
laminates (FMLs), and systematically explore the effects of internal factors (layup sequence …

High velocity ballistic impact deformation behaviour of Titanium/GFRP Fiber Metal
Laminates (FML) has been explored. Both single and multiple projectiles impact conditions …
