Abstract
This paper describes the objectives and philosophy of research being conducted on the fatigue performance of carbon fibre composite (cfc) in structural form. The research programme on simple composite/metal joints utilising bonding is discussed and results are presented for fatigue tests on a 2 1 2 ° bonded scarf joint under both constant amplitude loading and a simple form of variable amplitude loading. These are discussed in terms of failure modes, cumulative damage behaviour and the effects of testing frequency. This work forms part of the initial stages of a programme on the fatigue of composite joints and future areas of work are briefly outlined.
