Title of the lecture

GLARE Laminated Fracture Mechanics  

Summary of the spoken topic

GLARE® fiber-metal laminated were developed at Technical University Delft (TU Delft) in the 80´s in order to be used on aeronautics structures, specially for fuselage applications. They are the fiber-metal laminated second generation, which first generation was the ARALL® laminated. Today GLARE® is used in part of the upper fuselage of the new Airbus A380. The use of these laminated on aeronautics structures requires a deep knowledge on its mechanical properties, among which tenacity to fracture is extremelly important. The study of ARALL and GLARE has been carried out at the COOPE/UFRJ Fracture Mechanics and Composite Materials Labs since 1994. In 1997 the research has focused in the development of experimental techniques for the evaluation of the material tenacity to fracture from new normalized proof bodies and small sized (if compared to the traditionally proof bodies used in the aeronautics industry). This work shows some of the research most relevant results, starting from the definition of an experimental methodology proper to these materials to obtaining resistance curves by the partial discharges method. The research conclusions are applied to the whole commercial fiber-metal family, including unidirectional and bidirectional GLARE laminated.
