Abstract Multi-material lightweight designs are a key feature for the development of innovative and resource-efficient products. In the development of a hybrid composite, the interface between the joined components has to be considered in detail as it represents a typical location of the initialization of failure. This contribution gives an overview of the simulative engineering of metal-composite interfaces. To this end, several design aspects on the microscale and macroscale are explained and methods to model the mechanical behavior

of the interface within finite element simulations. This comprises the utilization of cohesive elements with a continuum description of the interface. Likewise, traction-separation based cohesive elements, i.e. a zero-thickness idealization of the interface, are outlined and applied to a demonstration example. Within these finite element simulations, the constitutive behavior of the connected components has to be described by suitable material models. Therefore, inelastic material models at large strains are formulated based on rheological models. Keywords Hybrid composites · Interface · Cohesive zone · Finite element simulation

1 Introduction Hybrid structures combine different classes of materials to exploit the advantageous properties of each constituent [3, 23, 26]. Such components typically feature low weight and high strength. They can be adapted to specific requirements of different applications and allow for function integration. As shown in the scanning electron micrograph of Fig. 1, hybrid structures considered in this contribution consist of a metallic component and a fiber reinforced polymer (FRP). There exist established technologies like bolted or riveted joints where the connection is reached by an additional process step in combination with unintended material damage. More promising solutions are approaches that use an interfacial interlock of the different materials
