Tensile Property Evaluation of Woven Glass Fiber Reinforced Plastic and Aluminium Stack

Article Preview

Abstract:

The desire of weight reduction and improved damage tolerance characteristics of the aircraft structures throws a light on the development on Fiber Metal Laminates (FML), one of the hybrid composites, with the combination of metallic and non-metallic layers. In this study, laminates of alternating layers of aluminium (metal) and glass fibers with Woven Roving mat is fabricated. Tensile test based on ASTM standard are then conducted on the laminates to study their yield properties. The interfacial bonding between the layers are analyzed using the Scanning Electron Microscopy of tested specimens.
