Mechanical behavior of fiber reinforced polymer / metal laminate and aluminum foam sandwich composites

Year 2012, Volume: 1 Issue: 1, 59 - 70, 01.06.2012

Abstract

In this study, fibre/metal laminated (FMLs) containing glass fibre reinforced polypropylene (GFPP) and aluminium (Al) sheet were developed and consolidated with aluminium foam cores of varying thicknesses (8, 20 and 30 mm) for preparing the sandwich panels. The laminated systems were fabricated by hot pressing technique. The bonding among the composite/metal interface was achieved by silane coupling agent modification or polypropylene (PP) based film introduction containing 20 wt. % a maleic anhydride modified polypropylene (PP-g-MA). Quasi-static compression and bending behaviours of sandwich structures together with their energy absorption characteristics were also investigated and evaluated
