Fibre metal laminates, such as Arall or Glare, can offer improved properties compared to monolithic materials. However, the effect of temperature on the performance of the fibre metal laminates has not been fully characterised. A detailed understanding of the behaviour of these laminates is necessary for further improvement of their performance and durability. In this thesis, the thermo-mechanical behaviour of fibre metal laminates has been characterised via experimental testing and numerical modelling. Experimental tests have been performed to determine the temperature-dependent...
