...) after static tensile test. The influence of fiber orientation on the failure was studied and discussed. Design/methodology/approach – The subject of examination was AlC. The fiber–metal laminates (FMLs) were manufactured by stacking alternating layers of 2024-T3 aluminum alloy (0.3 mm per sheets...

... for the validation of simulations using numerical methods. Originality/value – The paper presents the impact resistance of new hybrid laminates for aerospace applications. The identification of damage character and failure mechanisms as well as the relationships between damage and impact responses of aluminum...
