The performance of Fibre Metal Laminates (FMLs) with natural fibre composites under uniaxial tension was investigated in this study. Numerical modeling and analysis were conducted to explore the contact interface between natural fibre metal laminates (NFML). The results showed that the layup sequence significantly affects the stress-strain response and ultimate tensile strength, with unidirectional laminates showing a significant advantage.
Fibre Metal Laminates (FMLs) consist of layers of metals combined with layers of fibre-reinforced composites bonded together to create a laminate. The behaviour of a Fibre Metal Laminate (FML) with natural fibre composites has been investigated in this study with a specific focus on the performance of the laminate under uniaxial tension. The integration of aluminium layers with natural fibre flax/pp layers at different fibre orientations has been numerically modelled and analysed, by investigating the contact interface between natural fibre metal laminates (NFML) using finite elements (FE) implemented in ABAQUS/Explicit. The finite element model was developed by the isotropic-hardening behaviour of metal layers, the built-in Hashin damage model and cohesive surface-based behaviour for the interface. The results of the simulation included stress-strain response, failure sequences, delamination effect and ultimate tensile strength. It was found that those results are significantly affected by the layup sequence, giving a significant advantage to the unidirectional laminate, when the uniaxial loading is taken into consideration. This advantage is measured as a 41.9% reduction of the ultimate tensile strength when the flax fibres are oriented at [0/90] configuration between the aluminium layers and a 30% reduction when the fibres are oriented at [+/- 45] angles.
