FATIGUE BEHAVIOR OF METAL LAMINATES.

Abstract

The paper reports studies of metal composites for possible use in critical structural components, investigating the nature of fatigue crack growth through the lamina and through the bond layers. The objective is to determine the conditions under which fatigue crack growth can or cannot be retarded and the effects of various combinations of materials upon crack growth and fracture toughness of such laminates.
