Electro-Magnetic Forming of Fiber Metal Laminates

Abstract

The paper presents the results of forming rifts in five-layer metal polymer laminates by electro-magnetic forming. During the experimental studies the discharge energy of the electro-magnetic machine was varied in such a way as to achieve different depths of the rift. Samples obtained by electro-magnetic forming were compared with control samples obtained by forming using a rubber pad under static loading. The strain state of the samples was analyzed using an digital image correlation system Vic-3D.
