An experimental investigation focusing on the hygrothermal aging-structural degradation–
mechanical property relationship of GLARE 4A laminates was conducted. Water immersion …

The impact peak force and the post-impact maximum permanent displacement of GLARE
laminates with double holes are predicted with the goodness of fit above 0.98 within the …

This paper presents results of fatigue crack growth testing of aluminium alloy 2624-T351
reinforced by bonded crack retarders made of GLARE fibre-metal laminate. Specimens were …

In this study, we prepared fibre metal laminates (FMLs) consisting of high-modulus carbon
fibre-reinforced polymer (CFRP) prepregs and thin AZ31 alloy sheets by using hot-pressing …

This paper presents the results of an experimental investigation into the use of externally-
bonded Glass Fibre Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) strips as a means of improving the load …

Fatigue crack grows faster in the integral structure than in the riveted structure. This study
compares the bonded, cold-sprayed and ultrasonically consolidated crack retarders to …

Bonded crack retarders (BCR) are of particular interest in the aerospace applications for
improving fatigue performance of airframe structural assemblies. In respect of structural …

Atlas of Material Damage, Third Edition provides a systematic analysis of modes of damage
and morphology of damaged material and compares the experiences of different industries …

To improve the fail‐safety performance of integral metallic structures, the bonded crack
retarder concept has been developed in recent years. This paper presents an experimental …

This article deals with the response of GLARE (GLAss REinforced) fiber–metal laminates
subjected to frictional oblique indentation. The indentation response is initially predicted …
