Abstract Hybrid composites become popular and are today used in a large number of contemporary structural applications. When compared to non-hybrid composites, hybridization offers additional benefits since the mixing of cheaper, low-quality fibers, with more expensive fibers of higher quality can improve the properties of a composite without significantly affecting the cost. Among of improvements resulted from the hybridization is the fatigue behavior, although this has not yet been thoroughly investigated for a wide range of hybrid composites. This review article summarizes and discusses the existing works on the fatigue behavior of synthetic and natural fiber reinforced (FRP) hybrid composites, as well as fiber metal laminates (FMLs).
