The use of composite overlays to increase the fatigue life of notched steel samples is discussed in this paper. For such purposes, in the first set of studies, static and fatigue tests as well as the detailed analytical and numerical analyses for samples with double-lap joints were performed. Based on such studies, the shapes of the composite overlays were set. For a better understanding of the failure forms of the investigated adhesive joints, the experimental studies were monitored with the use of digital image correlation. In the second set of experimental studies, the static and fatigue tensile tests were performed for steel samples with a rectangular opening with rounded corners reinforced by composite overlays. The different shapes (square 45 × 45 mm and long stripes 180 × 15 mm) and composite materials (GFRP and CFRP) were used as overlays. The obtained improvement of fatigue life was in the range of 180–270% in the case of the rectangular overlays and 710% in the case of application of the overlays in the form of the long stripes. This was also confirmed by numerical analyses in which a reduction in the stress concentration factor from 2.508 (bare sample) through 2.014–2.183 (square 45 × 45 mm overlays) to 1.366 (overlays in the form of long stripes 180 × 15 mm) was observed.
