Mechanical performance of hybrid double- and step-lap joints in primary metallic aircraft structures: An experimental and numerical approach by Amir Ekladious, John Wang, Nabil Chowdhury, Wing Kong Chiu

“…Hybrid double-lap joints exhibited strength comparable to bonded joints while mitigating their brittle failures through fasteners that provided additional load-bearing capacity. In thicker step-lap joints, the hybrid configuration nearly restored the parent material’s inherent stiffness, with a moderate strength reduction due to the reduced bond area from the bolt holes, while enhancing elongation capabilities and resistance to localised stress concentrations. …”
