Description Hybrid aluminium - glass fiber laminates are a class of light weight
newlinematerials used in structural applications as a substitute for metals in areas like
newlineaerospace and automobiles. These laminates consist of glass fiber reinforced
newlineplastic (GFRP) sandwiched between thin aluminium sheets. Although many
newlinestudies have been carried out on such hybrid metal fiber laminates, published
newlineinformation with respect to mechanical properties is very limited. The first
newlinechapter of the thesis gives an introduction to various types of hybrid
newlinelaminates, literature review and the aim and scope of the present
newlineinvestigation.
newlineIn t h is work, hybrid aluminium - glass fiber laminates with
newlinedifferent metal thickness and fiber volume fraction combination have been
newlinefabricated using hand layup technique and tested under tensile loading. The
newlinefabrication and testing details are given in the second chapter. Further, the
newlineeffect of metal thickness and fiber volume fraction on the tensile modulus,
newlineyield strength and ultimate strength as well as the extent of debonding of
newlinealuminium layer are discussed in this chapter. Scanning electron microscopic
newlineobservations on the fractured specimen for finding out the failure modes in
newlinethe hybrid laminate and Finite element analysis using ANSYS for
newlineunderstanding the stress-strain behavior of the hybrid laminates in the linear
newlineelastic region are also presented in the second chapter.
