Abstract
Interface between laminates has always been the weakest part of bonded materials which is prone to delamination. This is even more prevalent in bonding of two different materials. The research aims to evaluate delamination of dissimilar materials under a range of temperature. This is a part of the experimental study to investigate the potential of fiber metal laminates (FML) to be used in high temperature environment. The mechanical response of interface of hybrid laminate was characterized at temperatures ranging from 30 to 110 °C. Double cantilevered beam (DCB) and end notched flexure (ENF) tests were conducted on glass fiber laminated aluminum specimens to obtain Mode-I and Mode-II delamination properties with use of data reduction. Mode-I fracture toughness (GIC) is significantly degraded by 59.45% at 70 °C and up to 83.65% at 110 °C. Mode-II fracture toughness (GIIC) only slightly degrades by 10.91% at 70 °C but drops rapidly by 82.84% at 110 °C.
