Thermal Residual Stress Analysis of Fiber Reinforced Metal Laminate

섬유강화금속적층판(FRML)의 열응력 해석

Fiber reinforced metal laminate(FRML) consists of alternations layers of metal and fiber reinforced composite. The difference in the coefficients of thermal expansion between metal and composite layer produces remarkable amount of thermal residual stresses between layers. Generally, FRML shows a tensile stress in metal layers, a compressive stress in composite layers after curing. In this study, the thermal residual stresses of several types of FRML are investigated to get the best combination of metal and composite which can reduce the thermal residual stresses. The residual stress level is compared with the strength of each layers to explain the fracture mechanism of FRML.
