In many high performance structures, unions between composite materials with other light metals such as aluminium are required, for purposes of structural optimization. This book deals with the experimental and numerical study of single lap joints, bonded with a brittle and a ductile adhesive. These are applied to hybrid joints, between a high strength aluminium alloy and carbon fibre reinforced plastic adherends, with different overlap lengths. The Finite Element Method is used to perform detailed stress and damage analyses allowing to explain the joints' behaviour and the use of cohesive...
