Abstract: | GLARE (glass-reinforced aluminum laminate) is a new class of fiber metal laminates for advanced aerospace structural applications.
It consists of thin aluminum sheets bonded together with unidirectional or biaxially reinforced adhesive prepreg of high-strength
glass fibers. GLARE laminates offer a unique combination of properties such as outstanding fatigue resistance, high specific
static properties, excellent impact resistance, good residual and blunt notch strength, flame resistance and corrosion properties,
and ease of manufacture and repair. GLARE laminates can be tailored to suit a wide variety of applications by varying the
fiber/resin system, the alloy type and thickness, stacking sequence, fiber orientation, surface pretreatment technique, etc.
This article presents a comprehensive overview of the mechanical properties of various GLARE laminates under different loading
conditions.
