New Materials
- Aluminium/ carbon fibre and Aluminium/glass fiber laminates (150x150x1.55 mm) consisting of 3 aluminium foils and 2 fabric foils impregnated with epoxy adhesive
- This metal /fiber hybrid laminates offer remarkable mechanical and fatigue properties as well as fracture strength and a relatively low crack propagation rate
