Description
Summary:One of the new and advanced composite materials, known as fibre–metal laminates consisting of bonded thin metal sheets and fibre layers is rapidly becoming a good substitute for metal structures, especially in aerospace and marine applications. This is because of its good mechanical properties such as excellent fatigue and impact resistance as well as damage tolerance, without sacrificing low weight. In this research, standard FML samples consist of alternating layers of fibreglass and perforated steel sheet were prepared using vacuum infusion process.
