Fabrication and tensile testing of composite hybrid joints

The composite joint strength to weight ratio was found based on actual joint arrangements in the aircraft structure and the test results were helped to the research to composite joint design and analysis. The experimental study, conventional hybrid and hybrid joints with curved attachments of different angles (12, 16, 24) are designed fabricated and tested using UTM Machine which has the maximum capacity of 600 kN until the catastrophic failure of the joints. The results obtained tensile strength and failure modes are compared to find the better joint configuration. The joint has 117% more strength than the
conventional joints.
