Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Dynamic technical progress necessitates the need for intensive development in the field of modern, innovative materials and technologies. Fiber reinforced composite laminate is one of the most prospective material types in terms of research and application. There is no doubt that polymer composites have revolutionized traditional design concepts and enabled an unparalleled range of new and exciting opportunities as materials for groundbreaking constructions. The purpose of this Special Issue is to disseminate knowledge between users, manufacturers, designers, and researchers who are working in the field of composite materials.

This Special Issue will cover a broad range of topics in the field of polymer composites. Original research papers are desired on recent developments in all scientific and technological aspects of composite materials and their structures, including physical, chemical, mechanical, and other properties of polymer composites studied both experimentally and theoretically. Subject areas suitable for publication include, but are not limited to:

  • Mechanical aspects of polymer composites;
  • Numerical methods and multiscale modeling;
  • Optimal design and advances in fabrication and processing;
  • Application and sustainability of polymer composites;
  • Novel composite material concepts;
  • Biobased composites;
  • Hybrid polymer composites;
  • Damage and fracture processes;
  • Fatigue and environmental effects;
  • Monitoring and nondestructive testing;
  • New approaches to the prediction and measurement of composite properties.

Original research papers, review articles, letters, as well as case studies are welcome. We look forward to receiving your submissions for this Special Issue.

The paper presents the issues of metal surface treatment in fibre metal laminates (FML) to obtain high adhesion at the metal–composite interface. Aluminium 2024-T3 and titanium Grade 2 were analysed. The metal surface modifications were carried out by mechanical (sandblasting, Scotch-Brite abrasion), chemical (P2 etching, phosphate-fluoride process), electrochemical (chromic and sulphuric acid anodizing), and plasma treatment, as well as the application of sol-gel coatings. In terms of surface geometry, the analysis included roughness and 3D surface topography examination. The morphology was examined using scanning electron and atomic force microscopy. The surface free energy and its components (polar and dispersive) were determined using the Owens–Wendt method. The novelty of this study is the determination of the effect of different surface treatments on the surface free energy, topography, and morphology in terms of the possible appropriate adhesion in fibre metal laminates. Chromic acid anodizing is still the most effective in enhancing the expected adhesion. A suitable technique may be the use of P2 etching of aluminium. It results in low roughness, numerous micro-irregularities, and the presence of porosity. The obtained test results show that the application of sol-gel coating increases the surface free energy and may increase the adhesion. Full article

This paper focuses on the effects of transverse shear and root rotations in both symmetric and asymmetrical end-notched flexure (AENF) interlaminar fracture toughness tests. A theoretical model is developed, whereas the test specimen is subdivided into four regions joined by a rigid interface. The differential equations for the deflection and rotations of each region are solved within both the Euler–Bernoulli simple beam theory (SBT) and the more refined Timoshenko beam theory (TBT). A concise analytical equation is derived for the AENF deflection profile, compliance, and transverse shearing forces as a function of the specimen geometry, stacking sequence, delamination length, and fixture span. Modeling results are compared with numerical finite element analyses, obtaining a very good agreement. Performed analyses suggest that even in the case of symmetrical and unidirectional laminates considered as pure mode II fracture, a complex compression/tension and bending moment state is present, as well as a slight contribution of anti-planar shear at the vicinity of the crack tip.

This article presents selected aspects of an interlaminar shear strength and failure analysis of hybrid fiber metal laminates (FMLs) consisting of alternating layers of a 2024-T3 aluminium alloy and carbon fiber reinforced polymer. Particular attention is paid to the properties of the hybrid FMLs with an additional interlayer of glass composite at the metal-composite interface. The influence of hygrothermal conditioning, the interlaminar shear strength (short beam shear test), and the failure mode were investigated and discussed. It was found that fiber metal laminates can be classified as a material with significantly less adsorption than in the case of conventional composites. Introducing an additional layer of glass composite at the metal-composite interface and hygrothermal conditioning influence the decrease in the interlaminar shear strength. The major forms of damage to the laminates are delaminations in the layer of the carbon composite, at the metal-composite interface, and delaminations between the layers of glass and carbon composites.
