Research in failure behaviors of hybrid single lap aluminum-CFRP (plain woven) joints

In this paper, the failure behaviors of the hybrid joint (HJ) of plain woven carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) and aluminum alloy were systematically studied by quasi-static tensile experiments and a new refined simulation. Experimental results showed that the HJ failure has a typical three-stage feature: first, the bond line and the rivet share the load; and then the bond line gradually fractures; finally, the rivet bears the load alone....
