Performance of cracked fibre metal laminate (Glare) under fatigue load differs from that of cracked plain aerospace aluminum alloy. Load transfer towards stronger fibres in Glare shields crack tips in aluminum layers that retards fatigue crack growth rates. The paper experimentally investigates the fatigue behaviour of Glare at variable stress ratio’s in an ambient environment for comparison with that of plain aerospace aluminum alloy.
