Abstract

The bearing behavior of CFRP-steel and CFRP-titanium laminates is characterized through finite element analysis (FEA) as well as experiments. The results are compared to the charac-teristics of pure CFRP laminates. This paper shows that bearing strengths can be increased significantly by substituting single laminae of a multidirectional composite by thin metal sheets. Steel layers show a higher potential by means of maximum load transfer but disad-vantages considering weight aspects.
