Abstract
This article, in three parts, discusses the new group of materials known as Fiber Reinforced Metal Laminates (FRMLs) that are being developed for the aircraft industry. This new laminate shows improved mechanical properties and a superior fatigue behavior over traditional aluminum alloys currently in use in the aircraft industry today. Part I, SAMPE J., 31 (1) 1995, discusses the development of FRMLs and the manufacturing and mechanical properties of these laminates. Part II describes the notched strength and fatigue behavior of FRMLs, concentrating on the effects of the constituents and also theoretical models developed to predict these properties. Part III will discuss special characteristics and benefits associated with FRMLs and suggest future research areas.
