The high strain rate tensile response of titanium-based fiber metal laminates (FMLs), consisting of layers of titanium Ti-6Al-4V alloy sheet and glass fiber reinforced composites, is examined. A hand layup method is used to fabricate four different layups of FMLs, exhibiting the same thickness of the total metal layer. A split Hopkinson tensile bar apparatus is used to load titanium and composite under a high strain rate to obtain baseline data. High-speed digital image correlation is used to measure the strain directly on the specimen gage region. The elastic-plastic response of FMLs up to maximum stress is predicted by the classical laminated plate model and orthotropic plasticity model. This is followed by a behavior considering the mechanics of delamination. The results show that the layup sequence of titanium-based FMLs considerably affects the failure behavior of composites following ultimate strength. This strength increases at high strain rates and seems higher for titanium-based FMLs than aluminium-based FMLs. This is primarily caused by the rate-dependent response of the titanium and composite. The failure strain of glass fiber reinforced epoxy (GFRP) constituent, failure strain, and toughness of FMLs are affected by isolating composite layers by metallic layers within FMLs and are found to be rate sensitive. Isolation of composite layers from one another by metallic layers results in more progressive failure of FMLs. The proposed models are validated with experiments of aluminium-based FMLs available in the literature.

Abstract This paper proposed a homogenization model, and compiled a VUMAT subroutine to simulate the tension and shear of fiber-reinforced pultrusion composite (FRPC). Experiments were also performed to verify the accuracy of the homogenization model. The results show that, the simulation results agree well with the experiment data. The stiffness and strength increase with the increase of the diameter of the carbon composite part. The limit shear load and the horizontal shear strength decrease with the increase of the span. When FRPC is under shear with smaller span, the matrix tensile damage initiates first and it is the dominate failure mode, then the matrix and fiber compression damage occur at where the indenters contact. However, with the increase of the span, the delamination damage between the wound glass-fiber reinforced composite and pultrusion glass-fiber reinforced composite occurs and becomes the dominate failure mode for FRPC shear.

In this study, the effect of adding nanosize additive to glass fiber reinforced composite plates on mechanical properties and surface milling was investigated. In the light of the investigations, with the addition of MWCNTs additive in the composite production, the strength of the material has been changed and the more durable composite materials have been obtained. Slots were opened with different cutting speed and feed rate parameters to the composite layers. Surface roughness of the composite layers and slot size were examined and also abrasions of cutting tools used in cutting process were determined. It was observed that the addition of nanoparticles to the laminated glass fiber composite materials played an effective role in the strength of the material and caused cutting tool wear.
