Investigation on mechanical and modal properties of aluminium based fibre metal laminates

The combination of materials between metal alloys and composite materials has been used for thousands of years to reach better performance requirement. To achieve the best combination of material properties and service performance, a study on the dynamic behaviour is one of the main points to be con...

Finite element analysis (FEA) models by using commercial ABAQUS software was used to determine natural frequency and mode shape. The experimental results from modal testing were then compared with the FEA values. It was found that, the natural frequency of the FMLs plates increased when more Al layers were embedded in the composite layers. The results reveal that a percentage increase in natural frequency from 29.41 % to 71.98 %. Meanwhile, the percentage increment in natural frequency was from 54.36 % to 88.53 % between fixedfree and fixed-fixed boundary conditions. The vibration analysis of FML plates were validated, where the percentage error between numerical analysis and experimental results are observed to be 0.08 % to 16.17 %. In conclusion, with the presence of aluminium alloy plates in the composite layers, the natural frequency will increase as the value of stiffness increase.
