Investigation on the Tensile Strength of GLARE Laminate with a Hole

Abstract:

As for the case of tensile plastic deformation of glass fiber reinforced aluminum laminates (GLARE), the finite element analysis model of the tensile strength of GLARE laminates with a hole is established by means of ABAQUS software under tensile load. The modeling is found to be in good agreement between the simulation results and the experiment data in the failure strength. On the basis of the finite element model, the tensile strength of GLARE laminates containing a hole in other ply modes is simulated, and the influences of the hole size and ply angle on the tensile strength are given in this paper.
