<p>The objective of this study is to investigate joint strength of the scarf  joint configuration, constructed from carbon and glass woven fabric hybrid  laminates, with different material combinations. Glass/glass, glass/carbon,  carbon/glass, and carbon/carbon are tested under various loading conditions  like tension, compression, bending and shear loading. Both experimental and  computational studies are conducted. For the experimental study, specimens made  of scarf joints using carbon and glass woven fabrics are tested under  compressive loadings to determine their joint failure strengths. Computational  models are then developed to predict the joint strengths under the same  conditions as in the experiments using the discrete resin layer model along  with fracture mechanics and virtual crack closure techniques. The comparisons  are good. Once the computational models are validated from the test results,  the scarf joint strengths are computed under different loading conditions.
