AB - Composite materials have advanced material properties such as high stiffness- and strength-to-weight ratios, corrosion resistance, damage tolerance, and stealth characteristics and are being widely used for primary structural members. However, these materials are not typically applied in isolation due to insufficient stiffness and ductility of the composite compared to traditional metallic materials. Thus there has been a growing interest in combined metal and composite structures. Design of metal-to-composite hybrid joints appears to be one of the major structural challenges. Hybrid joints often entail both geometry and material discontinuities which can lead to a stiffness mismatch and cause local stress concentrations. Research at Imperial College London (ICL) and the U.S. Naval Academy (USNA) shows that among the various novel steel-to-fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) joint design, hybrid protruded joints demonstrate significant potential in naval structural applications. These joints are fabricated using a surface treatment technique called Surfi-Sculpt which uses a power electron beam to create metal protrusions onto which the FRP is laid and cured. This paper reviews the ongoing Office of Naval Research (ONR) sponsored research project focusing on the hybrid protruded joint design. Both experimental and finite element analysis (FEA) results will be discussed and compared. Copyright © 2013 by the International Society of Offshore and Polar Engineers (ISOPE).
