Fibre-metal laminates having different stacking sequences of the same layer thickness are manufactured using the hand layup process. Surface treatment was performed on Al8011-T6 sheet in order to get good adhesion between aluminium and epoxy. With the optimum content of 0.6 and 0.9 wt% of graphene, the tensile and flexural strengths were improved by 15% and 25%, respectively, compared to aluminium fiber metal laminates without graphene for 0/0 fiber layup orientation.}, type={Article}, title={Experimental Investigation on the Effect of Graphene Addition on Mechanical Properties of Al8011-T6 Based Fiber Metal Laminate}, URL={http://ochroma.man.poznan.pl/Content/131925/AMM-2024-2-59-Zakaulla.pdf}, doi={10.24425/amm.2024.149811}, keywords={Fibre metal laminate, aluminium, Tensile strength, Flexural strength, Graphene, Carbon fibre}, }
