Numerical model development to predict the process-induced residual stresses in fibre metal laminates

• Numerical model to predict process-induced residual stresses in fibre metal laminates. • A notched laminate was considered to emphasize the deformation. • Numerical model was validated through experimental tests. • The highest deformation was found near the vertex of the laminate. The thermomechanical interactions between the different materials constituting a hybrid laminate make residual stresses arise during the manufacturing process of...
