Abstract
The effect of fiber-matrix adhesion on the fatigue crack growth properties of treated/untreated carbon fiber-reinforced Al alloy laminates was studied. The presence of increase delamination reduced the efficiency of the crack-bridging mechanism by decreasing the stiffness of the bridging fibers. Both the untreated and treated carbon fiber laminates displayed similar crack growth rates. Only after prolonged cyclic fatigue did the crack growth rate differed between the two laminates. In comparison to monolithic 2024-T3 Al alloy, the crack growth rate for both the untreated and treated fiber-reinforced metal laminates was much slower.
