There are many instances where the use of weight-saving polymer composite material for an entire structure is either too complex, too expensive or unfeasible. In these circumstances the use of a hybrid structure can incorporate the benefits of traditional (e.g. steel) construction coupled with the advantages of composite materials [e.g. glass-reinforced polymers, glass-reinforced plastic (GRP)] in weight-critical areas. A number of studies have been carried out on the static strength of hybrid steel-to-composite joints.

    In the present study, an experimental investigation was undertaken into the fatigue life characterization of a hybrid steel-to-GRP joint. It was found that the fatigue data correlated well with the statistical-based Weibull cumulative distribution function. In addition, post fatigue (in-plane and out-of-plane) residual strength tests were undertaken to ascertain the joint structural performance after cyclic loading. Finite-element-based progressive damage analyses incorporating damage initiation and propagation characteristics, showed good correlation with experimental results.
