FORMING ANALYSIS OF SELF-REINFORCED POLYPROPYLENE BASED COMPOSITE-ALUMINIUM HYBRID STRUCTURES
This study investigates the formability of hybrid structures made of self reinforced polypropylene and aluminium also known as Fibre-Metal Laminates (FML). Comparisons between FML and monolithic aluminium revealed that FML possess better formability characteristics than monolithic aluminium. Moreo...
