Abstract

This paper presents the study on the crack tip beha viour in Fibre Metal Laminates under static loading. The effect on the strain field due to the variation of layup and fibre/prepreg has been analyzed. The strain field has been measur ed using digital image correlation and evaluated by comparing it with the strain field pre dicted with FE analysis, which provided information about the interlaminar shear mechanisms. In addition, the paper demonstrates the power of the digital image correlation techniqu e for in situ strain measurements, offering new insight into the damage mechanisms that prevail in FMLs under static loading.
