Popis: This study characterizes surface treated classic type Fiber Metal Laminates (FMLs) interlaminar shear strength (ILSS) based on a glass mat reinforced Polyphenylene Sulphide composite and an aluminium alloy. The effect of concentration of γ-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane surface treatment on ILSS of adhesive bonding between aluminium sheet and composite laminates has been investigated. After determining the silane concentration, novel FML material is manufactured using a compression moulding process which involves aluminium sheets with different circular hole perforations (Array type A and B) with two circular hole diameters (ϕ3 and ϕ5 mm) and two total hole area/closed area: 0.05 and 0.06) to develop mechanical interlocking between aluminium layers and composite laminates. Tensile tests are performed to investigate the effect of different circular hole perforations on ILSS properties of FMLs. Test results show that ILSS is improved with increasing the circular hole diameter and decreased with the number of holes as correlated with undrilled FMLs. Failure modes, damage initiation, and progression of FMLs with different open hole perforations are determined with optical microscope. POLYM. COMPOS., 2014. © 2014 Society of Plastics Engineers
