Title A name given to the resource Experiment investigations of effect of laminate thickness on flexural properties of GLARE and GFRP laminates Subject The topic of the resource fiber metal laminates; flexural strength; fracture analysis; GFRP; GLARE Description An account of the resource The study focuses on the fabrication of Glass Fiber Reinforced Aluminum (GLARE) laminates and evaluation of their flexural properties. Aluminum 2024 (T3) sheets were used for the fabrication of GLARE laminates along with E-glass fiber in the form of chopped strand mat and epoxy resin. Different thickness of aluminum sheets ranging from 0.2 mm to 3.5 mm was used to fabricate the GLARE laminates. Hand layup technique is used to bond together aluminum sheets and epoxy/E-glass fiber laminates under different configurations. The test specimens were prepared as per ASTM standards, and standard three-point bending test was carried out to evaluate different bending characteristics. An increase of 60% in load-bearing capacity was observed when aluminum sheet thickness was an increase from 0.2 mm to 0.35 mm. Similar The results were compared with similar glass fiber reinforced plastic (GFRP) laminates to analyze improvements, whereas, the maximum deflection of the laminate decreased. There were not many improvements in case of bending strength and bending modulus when aluminum sheet thickness was varied. Fracture surface analysis indicated three modes of failure namely, interfacial delamination, delamination bonding, and fiber breakage. When compared with glass fiber reinforced plastics of similar configuration, a substantial increase in bending strength was observed. 2018 IOP Publishing Ltd.
