The solution for the buckling problems of fibre metal laminates is usually based on the assumptions that the plates are subjected to uniform edges loads without any discontinuity or damages. Nevertheless, in practice the plates are subjected to various kinds of nonlinear/nonuniform edge loads along with various sized and positioned openings. The present work mainly focused on the vibration and buckling performance of inter laminar hybrid fiber metal laminates (HFMLs) with and without cutouts subjected to different kinds of nonlinear loading conditions by utilizing finite element approach. Towards this a 9-noded heterosis plate element has been used to discretize the plate by taking into account the effect of shear deformation and rotary inertia. Since the stress distribution within the plate is highly non-uniform in nature, the dynamic approach has been used to solve the buckling problems. The present study consists of aluminum metal face sheets bonded with four layered symmetric hybrid cross-ply laminates, in which six different hybrid configurations have been considered. The performance of each hybrid configuration along with different sized and positioned cutouts is well investigated under various nonlinear loading conditions.

Materials having low density combined with superior strength are gaining demand in the field of automobiles, aeronautical and military appliances. Fiber Metal Laminates (FML) is becoming the material of choice for the above mentioned applications because of the ability to tailor it to meet the demands of the end applications. This paper throws light on the commercially available for of FMLs, its production methods, property enhancement and diverse applications. As such Carbon fibre reinforced composite are preferred for making automobile bonnets and fuselage in military aircraft due to the superior strength to weight ratio. On the other hand glass fiber reinforced composite materials are used to manufacture railway locomotive body panels due to the high tensile strength and impact strength. This paper can be used as reference for budding engineers who want to gain first-hand knowledge on FMLs.
