Fibre metal laminates, such as Glare, are a family of materials with very interesting properties for fatigue-critical applications. This article describes the results of a research programme carried out to evaluate the fatigue and damage tolerance characteristics of riveted Glare lap joints, representative of fuselage longitudinal joints. The comparison with the behaviour of metallic joints shows that different contributions are made to the total fatigue life, with the crack propagation life being by far the longer one for the Glare material whereas the crack nucleation life covers almost the entire fatigue life for metallic joints. Design rules should take this peculiar behaviour into consideration, to achieve the maximum benefit in the use of this class of materials in fatigue-critical applications.
