On impact behavior of fiber metal laminate (FML) structures: A state-of-the-art review

Fiber metal laminates (FMLs) comprised of metal alloy and composite materials have been extensively applied in a broad range of engineering structures in virtue of their outstanding functional characteristics and cost benefits. This paper provides a comprehensive review on the state-of-the-art of the impact characteristics of fiber metal laminates through experimental, numerical and analytical methods. First, influences of various internal and...
