Abstract: The stamping of fiber metal laminates (FMLs) at thermoforming temperature of the thermoplastic matrix is investigated. The studied FML types consist of a unidirectional carbon fiber-reinforced core that is attached to metal ...

Abstract: The V-die bending of a carbon-fiber-reinforced thermoplastic laminate bonded to thin cover layers made of microalloyed steel was investigated. Such hybrid semifinished products are gaining importance in transport-related ...
