Fiber-Reinforced Metal Laminate are lightweight structural materials consisting of thin bonded sheets of metal and fibre-polymer composite. This combination creates a material which is lighter, higher in strength, and more fatigue resistant than the monolithic metal and has better impact strength and damage tolerance than the composite on its own. During the past decades, increasing demand in aircraft industry for high-performance, lightweight structures have stimulated a strong trend towards the development of refined models for fiber metal laminates (FMLs). Fiber metal laminates are hybrid composite materials built up from interlacing layers of thin metals and fiber reinforced adhesives. The most well known FMLs are: ARALL (aramid reinforced aluminum laminate), based on aramid fibers GLARE (glass reinforced aluminum laminate), based on high-strength glass fibers CentrAl, which surrounds a GLARE core with thicker layers of aluminum CARALL (carbon reinforced aluminum laminate), based on carbon fibers
