Abstract

Development of fiber reinforced metal laminates (FRMLs) and their applications in aerospace structures are reviewed in this article, especially for Glass-reinforced Aluminium Laminates (GLARE) currently used extensively in aerospace industry, Central reinforced Aluminums (CentrAL) and Hybrid Titanium Composite Laminates (HTCL), which show strong signs to become dominating FRMLs for aerospace applications in the future. Nonlinear finite element analyses are carried out using the commerical finite element software ANSYS to investigate the structural behaviour of these three FRMLs. The effects of specific parameters such as volumetric fibre content, matrix thickness, lay-up configuration, and fibre orientation on deflection and stress behaviour of GLARE, CentrAL and HTCL are also investigated in this chapter. The different responses of the structural behaviour from the different FRMLs are compared.
