Development and characterization of fiber metal laminates (FML) using aluminium and Kevlar fibre for automobile applications

In recent times, the demand for high-performance, lightweight structures in the automotive industry has driven strong developments in refined fiber-metal laminates (FMLs).Hybrid composite fabrics consist of layers interlaced with thin metals and fiber-reinforced adhesives are fiber metal laminates.Sticky bonded metal laminates had much greater resistance to fatigue than similar systems with mechanical bonding.The design of the experiments was used to decrease the number of experiments and to examine method variables concerning maximum drawing force and wrinkling of specimens.It was shown that the overall impact of the blank holder force on failure mode in FML and the effects on a deep drawing of an FML’s blank diameter and blank thickness is close to the effects on custom metals. Here, the aluminium sheet and Kevlar fiber have been chosen as raw materials. In this project work, the proposed fiber metal laminate proves better one than existing by analyzing material strength.
