Abstract |
The use of composite materials has increased rapidly in the last couple of decades especially in
the aerospace industry due to its lighter weight, higher stiffness and better fatigue properties.
The fiber metal laminates (FML) assemblies design normally involves an interaction between
composites (carbon fiber) and metallic parts (AA 6061 T6) and these interfaces often prove to be
the weakest portions of the structures. This research has therefore focused on carrying out a
comparison of different joining techniques of composites with metals keeping in view the tensile
and fatigue properties of double lap joint configuration. For this purpose simple adhesive
joints, hybrid joints (adhesive +rivets) and joints having adhesive pins in metal plate were
prepared and tested. The research also involves finite element modeling of these joints and their
subsequent experimental validation. The results showed higher strength of hybrid joint, in which
a combination of fasteners and adhesive was use
