Research Progress on Interlaminar Failure Behavior of Fiber Metal Laminates

Table 1

Method for evaluating interlaminar property of FMLs.

Types of methods	Common applications	Schematic diagram
Short-beam method (SBS)	Evaluate interlaminar shear property; Evaluate interlaminar fracture toughness; Test bending property.
Cantilever beam method	Evaluate the interlaminar fracture toughness
Fiber bundle composite test method (FBC)	Evaluate the interlaminar bond strength (transverse tensile strength and interlaminar shear strength)
