Different specimens were manufactured to investigate static and fatigue behaviour, as well as delamination size after impact and damage tolerance characteristics. The mechanical performances of the specimens with local reinforcement, consisting of the insertion of spiked thin metal sheets between co-bonded laminates, were compared with those ones obtained from specimens with purely co-bonded joints. This novel design demonstrated by tests that damage progression under cycling load results significantly delayed by the reinforcements. A significant number of experimental results were obtained that can be used to define preliminary design guidelines.","Bonded joint; composite laminate; damage tolerance; fatigue; Redundant High-Efficiency Assembly; tests","en","journal article","","","","","","","","","","","Aerospace Structures & Computational Mechanics","","",""
