Tensile Testing of Hybrid Composite Joints

Article Preview

Abstract:

In the present paper, results of experimental tests carried out on hybrid (bonded/bolted) and adhesive composite single-lap joints are showed. The laminate adherends were made by unidirectional carbon fiber/epoxy with symmetric stacking sequence. In particular, the tests were carried out to evaluate strength and failure mode of the different joints. These joints were subjected to quasi-static tensile displacement and tests were conducted using a universal testing machine. The maximum tension load that the specimen can bear is determined and the failure process is correlated to the lay-up of the composite and joint type.
