RESUMO
Applications of hybrid fiber-metal laminates include, besides aeronautical industry, the automotive and naval industries. Unlike aeronautical field, impact research activities in the former areas of mobility industry are frequently limited by available laboratory equipment, so that it would be desirable to develop low-cost procedures to determine impact resistance and tolerance properties of construction materials. In this work, the transversal (trans-thickness) impact resistance and tolerance of hybrid fiber-metal laminate Glare-5® have been determined via three different methodologies. The first one utilizes sophisticated apparatus comprising a Laser-Doppler device to monitor deceleration/re-acceleration of 5 mm-diameter steel-ball impactor during the mechanical shock event. The second approach merely relies on the force (applied load) vs. impact time for determining the absorbed energy during the dynamic process. The third methodology requires only impactor velocity data points, immediately before and after the impact. It has been concluded that the energy values obtained from Laser- Doppler and load cell methods are very similar, with the former method producing slightly non-conservative results, allowing one to rapidly derive the impact resistance of hybrid laminate materials through very simple experimental set-ups employing digital load cells only. The third method presented somewhat higher results as compared to the concurrent techniques, so that it has been considered as inadequate for the research purposes. This study has shown that the fibre-metal laminate Glare absorbs between 60% and 80% of the apported impact energy during light impact events (ranging from 1 to Joules). Last, but not the least, materials stiffness was the most clearly and consistently imparted residual mechanical property (in a damage tolerance basis) due to the previous applied impact loading.
