Glare (glass-reinforced aluminium laminate) is a new class of fibre metal laminates and has been selected as a suitable substitute for metal structures, especially in aerospace structural applications. It is a hybrid composite consisting of alternating thin layers of aluminium sheets and glass-reinforced epoxy prepreg. In this study, the mechanical properties of this attractive material including impact, tensile, and bending strength and the effect of fibre orientation on them are investigated. Test results show that glass fibre sheet with zero orientation in laminate considerably improves the mechanical properties. Comparing similar specimens with different layer arrangement shows the importance of fibre orientation and its arrangement on the mechanical properties. Aluminium layers have higher role on these properties. Moreover, the difference of orientations for two glass layers in the laminate helps better resistance against various loads, and these types of specimens present more suitable performance. Finally, statistical analysis of data shows the effect of the independent variables and interactions with their relative significance on the mechanical behaviour.
