Fiber metal laminates (FMLs) are advanced hybrid composite materials constructed from the systematic alternation of thin metal sheets and fibre reinforced polymer layers. This unique configuration ...

Fibre Metal Laminates combine layers of composite and metal, creating a unique set of material properties that are an effective balance of the advantages and disadvantages of their constituents.

A new fibre-metal laminate material is being promoted as an anti-fatigue technology for aircraft wings by its creators, the Netherlands' Delft University of Technology, Dutch structures specialist GTM ...

The scope of DLR's work can be summarised as follows: The overall process work package includes the consolidation of the individual technologies for the automated and quality-assured production of FML ...
