RT book part T1 Mechanical Joining of Stacks A1 Gámez López, Antonio Juan A1 Fernández Vidal, Severo Raúl A1 Gómez Parra, Álvaro A1 Mayuet Ares, Pedro Francisco A1 Valerga Puerta, Ana Pilar A2 Ingeniería Mecánica y Diseño Industrial K1 Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastics (CFRP); Ceramic Matrix Composite Materials (CMC); Fiber Metal Laminate (FML); Hybrid structure; Laminate; Rivet AB This article is devoted to stacks, hybrid structures built by assembling layers of material to enhance their characteristics. To begin with, a formal classification of hybrid structures according to the material is developed. Then, the main three different methods of joining: mechanical, chemical and thermal, are explained with their advantages and drawbacks, focusing on the mechanical joining of stacks. Finally, some of the main sectors where we can find this type of structures are commented.
