Co-cured joining method is an efficient joining technique because both curing and bonding processes for the composite structures can be achieved simultaneously. It requires neither an adhesive nor a surface treatment of the composite adherend because the excess resin, which is extracted from composite materials during consolidation, accomplishes the co-cured joining process. In this paper, we considered three bond parameters, affecting tensile load bearing capacity of the co-cured single and double lap joints. Filially, we nave presented optimal bonding conditions for co-cured single and double lap joints with steel and composite adherends under tensile loads.
