Impact and residual fatigue behavior of ARALL and AS6/5245 composite materialThe impact sensitivity of aramide fiber-reinforced aluminum laminates (ARALL) was investigated by testing two types of ARALL (7075 aluminum prestrained and 2024 aluminum not prestrained), via static indentation, and the results were compared to those of sheet aluminum alloys 7075-T6 and 2024-T3 and to a state of the art composite AS6/5245. It was found that the impact resistance of the two ARALL samples was inferior to that of monolithic sheet aluminum samples, although the ARALL material made with 2024-T3 aluminum was superior to that made with 7075-T6 aluminum. The impact damage resistance of ARALL materials was at least equal to that of AS6/5245, and the AS6/5245 had higher residual tension-tension fatigue strength after impact than the ARALL samples. It was also found that the prestraining of the ARALL reduced the fatigue growth of impact damage.
