Abstract
The background of this work is the search for the most effective ways of joining composites, inter alia in aeronautical applications. The purpose of this study was to analyze the impact of mechanical fastener types on the static strength of lap joints of composite elements and the impact of fasteners on the mechanism of failure of such joints under fatigue load. The second objective was to check to what extent the hybridization of such joints, consisting of supplementing them with an adhesive joint, affects their strength and the mechanism of failure of such joints loaded with fatigue. Damage to composite joints was observed using computed tomography technology. The fasteners used in this study (aluminum rivets, Hi-lok and Jo-Bolt) differed not only in terms of the materials they were made of, but also in terms of the pressure forces they exerted on the joined parts. Finally, in order to check how a partially cracked adhesive joint affects the load on the fasteners, numerical calculations were carried out. Analyzing the results of the research, it was found that partial damage to the adhesive joint of the hybrid joint does not increase the load on the rivets and does not impair the fatigue life of the joint. An important advantage of hybrid joint is the two-stage destruction of the connection, which significantly increases the safety of aircraft structures and facilitates the process of supervising their technical condition.
