The effects of direction dependent interfacial fracture toughness on the tensile strength of CFRP / thin titanium films hybrid laminates are evaluated by tensile and fracture toughness tests. In tesile tests, the fiber-metal laminates which have the 90° ply-titanium interface shows lower tensile strength compared to the CFRP laminates, because the 90° ply-titanium interfacial delamination occurs. It is interesting to note that the FML which has no 90° ply-titanium interface shows higher tensile strength as well as the CFRP laminates, this may be because there are no interfacial delamination. In three-point bending tests, two types of the interfacial fracture toughness which are 0° ply-titanium interface and 90° ply-titanium interface are evaluted. As a result, the 0° ply-titanium interface shows a higher interfacial fracture toughness than that of the 90° ply-titanium interface. Thus, it is possible to suppress delamination by inserting titanium films in adjacent with the 0° plies, results in improved tensile strength.
