Abstract

The aim of this investigation is to study the impact response of fibre metal laminates (FMLs) based on S-glass/ PEKK composite and aluminum sheets (2024-T3). Initially, the effect of the temperature excursion of the processing cycle on the tensile strength of the aluminum alloy is investigated. A number of fibre metal laminates based on an aluminum alloy and glass fibre/PEKK composites are then manufactured and subjected to quasi-static testing and impact loading. Finite element analyses are then developed to predict the perforation impact of these FMLs and subsequently validated using the obtained experimental data.
