For structural applications, in automotive and aerospace industries hybrid joint are widely used. The performance of these types of joints according to feasibility and reliability of this system depends on design of the joints and their type. Nowadays adhesive and bolting joints are used to overcome problems of joints. Traditional joints have low load bearing capacity and high weight, to reduce the weight of structures and enhance the load bearing capacity of joint composite joints can be used. Traditional joints such as weld, spot, rivet, etc. are used for connecting various Automotive, Aerospace, etc. parts. To enhance strength of already existing joints without changing existing design can be achieved by use of industrial adhesives. So instead of only using adhesively bonded joint it can become advantageous to use hybrid joint with help of spew fillets. Project scope consists of different samples testing by UTM machine and these same samples were stimulated by using FEA. Three samples of bolted joint without adhesive and other three bolted joint with adhesive by using CAD software and analyzing it for induced structural stresses and deformation in CAE software. For carrying out experimental validation Tensile tests will be performed on UTM to evaluate the joint strength and failure modes for different joining techniques.
