“…Such connections should be watertight, sufficiently resistant to failure, and, modular panel assembly should be used to make composite-to-metal connection possible. A few different approaches to solving the problem have been presented recently [2,3]. Another group of problems is created by the connection between composite panels and supporting steel frames [5].…”

The paper presents a view on selected problems concerning application of steel sandwich panels to marine structures. Such problems connected with specificity of thin-skin laserwelded structure are varying in topics beginning from micro-scale properties of laser-welded T-joint through the joining of sandwich structures together up to connection and integration of such structures with a classical single-skin structure.

“…The geometry of the joint shown in Fig. 1 originates from similar joints between metal and sandwich composite components, studied for example by Clifford et al [6] and Cao and Grenestedt [10]. It can be manufactured rather easily with simple manufacturing procedures (even hand lay-up) and it does not necessitate special and expensive equipment.…”

“…The first studies in marine industry dealt with the study of composite superstructures on a steel hull [1]. The last decade several similar studies have been carried out, investigating the broad use of composite materials in metal ships [5][6][7][8][9]. Regarding the composite-to-metal joints, a major question that had to be answered was about their type, that is whether they had to be adhesive or mechanical joints or a combination of the two.…”

The present study examines the feasibility of a simple concept composite-tometal butt joint through the performance of both numerical and experimental studies. The composite part is made of glass/epoxy unidirectional layers made with the vacuum bag method. The geometry of the joint is typical for marine applications and corresponds to a low stiffness ratio. Two major parameters are investigated, namely the overlap length and the surface preparation of the steel adherent. Manufacturing of specimens and the procedure of the tensile tests are described in detail, giving hints for obtaining a better quality joint. Axial elongation and strains at various places of the joint were monitored and also numerically calculated. The tests revealed that the joint is quite effective, irrespectively of the steel surface preparation method. The failure loads are comparable and in some cases superior to other corresponding values found in the literature. The numerical models proved to adequately predict the structural response of the joint up to the loading where debonding starts.

“…Wright, Wu and Gibson (2000) used the joint structure between FRP and steel plate in hull horizontal bulkhead, carried on tensile, compression and lateral bending test, found that the strength of the symmetric joint structure is better. Clifford, Manger and Clyne (2002) analyzed geometrical characteristics and mechanical properties of the mixed joint between composite material and steel structures, and focused on the embedded steel plate length's influence on the bending strength. Lecomte et al, (2014) built an analytical model to evaluate load distribution in an aluminium-composite double-lap joint, the model also includes the nonlinear behaviour of the bolt implied by bearing degradation.…”

In the marine industry, in order to make full use of the carrying capacity of the composite material, in composite -metal joint design, the geometric parameters selection are often based on crushing damage or related combination damage. Using finite element method to calculate the joints structure strength of composites, setting up double shear mechanical joints calculation model of FRP and steel plate, carrying on the bearing strength analysis of mechanical joints between FRP and steel plate, obtaining bearing strength width correction coefficient, bearing strength end distance correction coefficient, bearing strength aperture correction coefficient, bearing strength load direction correction coefficient and bearing strength bolt type correction coefficient; an estimating method of bearing strength for FRP and steel plate joints was obtained, which could provide design basis for superstructure composite joints, at the same time, the estimating formulas of bearing strength for joints structure applicable to engineering can provide reference for engineering design.
