recessed parts 12 are formed in the panel enclosed by thicker edge areas 13 these edge areas 13 are suitable for acting as fixing areas for example for frames stiffeners and the like the bolts or rivets by means of which these frames stiffeners and the like are fixed to the laminate are supported in the relatively thick edge areas 13 in such a way that stress concentrations remain restricted to an acceptable level the recessed areas 12 form the remainder of a panel made from the laminate and are designed to take the normal undisturbed shear stresses and tensile and bending stresses of the type occurring in the construction concerned this produces on the one hand the advantage of a panel with a relatively low weight thanks to the recessed parts 12 while on the other hand the panel is still suitable for fixing to other construction parts at the position of the thickened edge areas 13 as shown in fig3 in the variant of fig2 the laminate is likewise composed of three continuous metal layers 1 2 and 3 furthermore two continuous fibre reinforced plastic bonding layers 4 6 are present the metal layer 9 provided with openings 10 in this case is bonded to the metal layer 2 by a discontinuous adhesive layer 14 without fibre reinforcement the fibre reinforced plastic bonding layer 6 is bonded at the position of the openings 10 to the metal layer 2 situated below it in the variant of fig4 which is largely identical to that of fig3 the metal layer 9 provided with openings 10 is bonded to the metal layer 2 by.
