Abstract
GLARE© is a fibre-metal laminate that is widely used by the aircraft industry due to its excellent fatigue and impact properties. It has also been proposed as a blast resistant material. This article reports on a set of experiments on GLARE 3, one of the GLARE variants used in impact applications. Results from the preliminary blast tests indicate that the panels behaved similarly to monolithic metal plates and appeared to offer potential for blast resistance when the results are compared to those in the literature for monolithic metal plates.
