Abstract: The study presents results of finite element simulations and experimental investigations of tensile tests of the laminated metal Al alloy/steel composite with soft aluminum interlayer. The results were obtained for the range of interlayer thicknesses and different interlayer strength values. The relative interlayer thickness value corresponding to the rupture of the aluminum alloy was identified.
