The never-ending attempt to obtain as low mass as possible is the reason for using material of high specific
strength (stiffness) in the aerospace industry. High strength titanium or aluminium alloys (e.g. 2024T3) and composite
laminates (e.g. CFRP or Glare) are the examples of such materials. Despite a large number of composite types, fibre
reinforced composites in the form of laminates are commonly used in aircraft structures. One-half of modern aircrafts
is made of composites. However, the second one is still made of metallic alloys. The usage of different materials in
aircraft structures results in the necessity of joining composite and metallic components. There are three connection
methods for aircraft primary structures: mechanical (riveting, bolting), adhesive (bonding) and hybrid where both
mentioned methods are used. The paper deals with metal-composite mechanical joint. Although fibre reinforced
composites have high tensile strength, the load transfer in mechanical joints of such components is limited. Strength of
composite laminates is dependent on the joint geometry; however, it is strongly influenced by laminate lay-up. There
are five global failure modes for mechanically fastened composite laminates: tension, bearing, shear-out, cleavage
and pull-through. The bearing failure mechanism is a safe progressive mechanism not leading to catastrophic failure
and therefore it is acceptable. Problems with strength assessment of composite mechanical joints are drawn. Some
geometrical (joint width), material (bolt material, stacking sequence) as well as numerical parameters (failure
criterion) are analysed.
