description In the face of fierce competition in the automotive market, severe environmental problems, and the consistent enhancement of consumer demands for vehicle performance, research and development for new automotive materials have increased. Fiber metal laminate (FML) is a representative hybrid composite in recent years but the application of FMLs in the automotive industry is still rare. In order to boost the strengths and applications of FMLs, a lot of effort has been put into enhancing their mechanical properties. In this review article, up-to-date information on the mechanical performance of FMLs for automotive components is presented. The mechanical testing methods, materials selection, structure design, fabrication methods, and the application of hybrid FMLs were explored. The objective of this review article is to study different factors that influence the mechanical properties of FMLs and provide some optimization directions from various aspects. From recent research, there will be great opportunities for hybrid FMLs utilizing natural fibers and bio-polymers in the automotive field in the future.
