The bearing strength, in particular the edge distance sensitivity, of several fiber metal laminates of the GLARE family is experimentally evaluated. The behavior of the fiber layer is investigated in detail to obtain a better understanding of its failure mode. Parallel with these experiments, the bearing behavior is studied using a finite element (FE) model. The plasticity in the metal layers, failure of the fiber layers, and friction between pin and laminate, are all implemented in the model. A comparison between experimental and FE results shows a good resemblance in strength and in internal damage pattern for the GLARE laminates. The FE model is used to define the optimal fiber orientation of standard GLARE laminates when loaded in bearing.

Key Words: GLARE • fiber metal laminates • bearing strength • pin-loaded hole • bolt-loaded hole
