The innovative Al/APC-2 hybrid nanocomposite fiber metal laminates (FMLs) were successfully fabricated. To overcome the usual problem of delamination, the Al alloy 2024-T3 thin sheets were treated by chromic acid anodic (CAA) method to achieve perfectly bonding with matrix PEEK eventually. It was found much better than the previously surface treatment method of CrO3-based chemical etching. A systematic study of hybrid specimens subjected to both static tensile and fatigue tests was conducted at elevated temperatures to obtain their mechanical properties, fatigue lives and failure mechanisms.
From the tensile tests, the mechanical properties of Al/APC-2 hybrid cross-ply and quasi-isotropic nanocomposite FLMs at elevated temperatures were received, such as ultimate tensile strength and longitudinal stiffness. Also, the predicted stress-strain curves was proposed and in good agreement with experimental data. The average values of received notched strength were affected significantly by stress concentration and high temperature. The modified point stress criterion (PSC) was used with the varied characteristic length dependent on nature of material and specimen geometry. The predicted notched strengths by the modified PSC model were not only precisely validated, but extended to the application at elevated temperatures.
The received fatigue data were plotted in S-N curves at variously elevated temperatures. The predictions of fatigue life curves were also presented and verified. The predicted S-N curves were compared with experimental data and found quite accurate.
