Abstract

Fiber Reinforced Metal Laminates (FRMLs) are widely used in modern industry because of excellent comprehensive properties. However, due to the existence of the interface, there will be delamination damage in their use process. Interface is the weakest part of fiber reinforced metal laminates. The bonding strength at the interface is determined by the fracture toughness of the interface. It is an important mechanical property index of fiber reinforced metal laminates. It is usually measured by a single cantilever beam test. In this paper, the finite element model of fiber reinforced metal laminate was constructed based parametric design language APDL of ANSYS to simulate the fracture roughness tests of FRMLs using element birth-death technology. The results show that the numerical simulation is very close to the experimental results. The numerical simulation is a very effective method to determine the interlaminar fracture toughness of fiber reinforced metal laminates.
