Abstract

Growing the need to impact resistive structures, hybrid laminates have been absorbed much attention. To reach appropriate strength, high stiffness, and good energy absorption, the interfacial adhesion between different layers is important. The present paper is an attempt to assess the adhesion between different layers in a hybrid laminate consists of natural rubber, glass/epoxy composite and two layers of aluminum under high and low-velocity impact and quasi-static three-point bending conditions. In order to minimize the debonding, three kinds of specimens were made by three different adhesives including Chemosil 222 and its primer, Bylamet S2 and Cyanoacrylate. Based on the results obtained from high and low-velocity impact tests, the best choice for elastomer/composite, composite/aluminum and elastomer/aluminum interfaces are bylamet S2, cyanoacrylate, and chemosil, respectively according to delaminated area. Samples containing bylamet S2 adhesive in all interfaces have a better performance in terms of dynamic stiffness.
