This  is a new family of hybrid materials consisting of thin metal layers  bonded together by fibres embedded in an adhesive. As a result of this  build-up, fibre metal laminates possess a mixture of the  characteristics of both metals and composite materials. Initial  development led to the `Arall' variant using aramid fibres, which was  first applied on the C-17 military transport aircraft around 1990.  Large-scale application became possible with a variant using glass  fibres, dubbed `Glare', which was selected for the Airbus A380 super  jumbo in 2001. This is the first book to discuss these new materials  and it deals mostly with Glare. It covers most of the relevant aspects  of the materials, from static mechanical properties, fatigue and  impact to design, production and maintenance of aircraft structures.  This book contains the basic information on these new materials  necessary for engineers and aircraft operators alike.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2001-11-30\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e ISBN-10: 9781402003912\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781402003912\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-010-0995-9\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 240cm x160cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 532\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44341196554380,"sku":"9781402003912","price":270.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781402003912_7e6c047e-8c10-493c-9a27-3ebb40e01b22.jpg?v=1755059999","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9781402003912","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
