Abstract

Fiber metal laminates (FMLs) is a class of metallic materials that consist of few thin layers of metal stacking with layers of composite based natural / synthetic fiber materials. This FMLs have drawn a wide attention towards variety of application in the industry. The study conducted to investigates the tensile, flexural and fatigue strength of fiber metal laminates (FMLs) which hybrid kenaf / glass fiber were flanked with 1mm mild steel. These FMLs were formed by using hot press compression machine. ASTM E8 was used to perform flexural and tensile testing with 2mm/min rate of speed. Fatigue testing was run based on ASTM E466 where 10,000 cycle of cyclic load was examined. Result showed that improvement in tensile, flexural and fatigue were observed in natural fiber based fiber metal laminate compared to synthetic fiber. Overall, the thickness of fiber and strong bonding of adhesive play an important role to determine the strength of hybrid laminate composite
