Abstract

Fiber Metal Laminates (FMLs) are hybrid materials consisting of layers of thin metal sheets and fibres in sandwich pattern. These are best known and extensively used in the Aerospace applications. Aiming this objective, new lightweight FML has been developed by hand layup technique using thin aluminium and E-glass fibres. Tensile tests had been carried out in accordance to ASTM standards to witness the quality of the specimens. From the experimental work, load v/s. displacement and assessing the strength it is observed that the mechanical properties of woven roving mat with aluminum type FML composite proved to be possessing 11.5% higher than the rest of the specimens characterized.
