摘要
Fiber metal laminates (FMLs) were used as skin on polypropylene honeycomb core to form a sandwich structure. Impact response was measured by conducting a series of low-velocity impact test. impact force and the force time history were recorded and analyzed. It was found that the maximum impact load increased up to a threshold value at which it plateaus while the energy absorption in the structure increased with increasing impact energy. Post-impact optical image showed a change in damage area with increasing impact energy. The impact damage threshold energy for the sandwich structure was clearly shown in the range of impact energy between 7.84J and 11.76J where damages including delamination of the skins and global bending of the structure were observed.
