چکیده مقاله :
Hybrid composite laminates consisting of layers of fibers and metal are a new generation of composites that sometimes have better mechanical properties and a greater weight-to-strength ratio than their constituent materials. 3D glass fibers have two layers of fibers on both sides with transverse links and with hollow space between the layers. In this paper, the ballistic limit of Fiber metal laminates (FMLs) including aluminum metal and polyvinyl chloride reinforced with 3D glass fibers has been investigated. Composite laminates include an aluminum layer in the middle and two composite layers on both sides. The matrix of composite layers has been polyvinyl chloride. Hand layup and hot pressing methods were used to make the samples. The ballistic limit speed of the samples was calculated with a gas gun. The results showed that the ballistic limit of the composite sample against the blunt projectile was higher than that of the hemispherical warhead projectile.
