A structural lug comprising a metallic base, composite middle layers, and outer layers of metallic material is disclosed. The metallic base of the structure is machined to accommodate the composite plies, which are located on each lateral side of the base and bonded to the base with adhesive. The composite material may comprise an adhesive-based resin with embedded fibers. The metallic base may be formed to minimize peel stresses in the composite layers. The top metallic layers are fitted over and bonded to the composite plies and act as the outermost layers of the lug. The lateral ends of the lug where the top layers come into contact with the machined base may be joined together with friction stir welding or mechanical fasteners to form the completed structure.

What is claimed is: 1. A structural member, comprising: a foundation formed from a metallic material and having a base and a tongue extending perpendicularly from a central portion of the base to bifurcate the base into two lateral portions; outer plies formed from a metallic material and secured to the foundation; and intermediate plies formed from a composite material and located between the foundation and the outer plies, such that the outer plies are secured to the foundation only at distal ends of the two lateral portions of the base beyond the intermediate plies; wherein pockets are formed in the foundation to accommodate the intermediate plies such that base portions of the intermediate plies are flush with the base, and each of the pockets and respective ones of the intermediate plies have complementary chamfers to minimize peel stresses in the composite material. 2. A structural member according to claim 1, wherein the outer plies comprise a pair of L-shaped outer plies, the intermediate plies comprise a pair of intermediate plies, and the intermediate plies are located between the foundation and respective ones of the outer plies on opposite lateral sides of the tongue; and the complementary chamfers extend completely across the intermediate plies and the pockets in a direction parallel to the tongue. 3. A structural member according to claim 1, wherein the outer plies are friction stir welded to the base of the foundation in two locations between the chamfers and lateral distal ends of the outer plies and the base. 4. A structural lug, comprising: a foundation formed from a metallic material and having a base, a tongue extending from the base, and pockets formed in the base on opposite sides of the tongue, each of the pockets having a chamfer on one end; outer plies formed from a metallic material and having a base portion secured to the foundation, the outer plies being spaced apart from each other and free of contact with the tongue; intermediate plies formed from a composite material comprising an adhesive-based resin with embedded fibers, base portions of the intermediate plies being located in the pockets between the base and the respective ones of the base portions of outer plies such that the base portions of the intermediate plies are flush with the base, said base portions of the intermediate plies having complementary chamfers to the chamfers of the pockets, the intermediate plies being bonded to the base and the tongue with adhesive, and the outer plies being fitted over and bonded to the intermediate plies to form outermost layers of the lug; and an aperture formed in and extending cylindrically and coaxially through the tongue of the foundation and upper portions of the outer plies, and the intermediate plies. 5. A structural lug according to claim 4, wherein the outer plies comprise a pair of L-shaped outer plies, the intermediate plies comprise a pair of intermediate plies, and the intermediate plies are located between the foundation and respective ones of the outer plies on opposite lateral sides of the tongue; and the complementary chamfers extend completely across the intermediate plies and the pockets in a direction parallel to the tongue. 6. A structural lug according to claim 4, wherein the tongue extends perpendicularly from a central portion of the base to bifurcate the foundation into two lateral portions, the outer plies are secured only to distal ends of the two lateral portions beyond the intermediate plies; and the intermediate plies are bonded to the base and to the tongue with adhesive, and the outer plies are fitted over and bonded to the intermediate plies and to distal portions of the base beyond the pockets to form outermost layers of the member. 7. A structural lug according to claim 4, wherein the outer plies are friction stir welded to the base of the foundation in two locations between the chamfers and lateral distal ends of the outer plies and the base; and the composite material acts as a self-bonding agent between the foundation and the outer plies. 8. A structural lug according to claim 4, wherein the outer plies are secured to the base of the foundation with mechanical fasteners between respective lateral distal ends of the intermediate and outer plies. 9. A structural lug, comprising: a foundation formed from a metallic material and having a base, a tongue extending from the base, and pockets formed in the base on opposite sides of the tongue, each of the pockets having a chamfer on one end; outer plies formed from a metallic material and having a base portion secured to the foundation, the outer plies being spaced apart from each other and free of contact with the tongue; intermediate plies formed from a composite material comprising an adhesive-based resin with embedded fibers, base portions of the intermediate plies being located in the pockets between the base and the respective ones of the base portions of outer plies such that the base portions of the intermediate plies are flush with the base, said base portions of the intermediate plies having complementary chamfers to the chamfers of the pockets, the intermediate plies being bonded to the base and the tongue with adhesive, and the outer plies being fitted over and bonded to the intermediate plies to form outermost layers of the lug; an aperture formed in and extending cylindrically and coaxially through the tongue of the foundation and upper portions of the outer plies, and the intermediate plies; wherein the outer plies comprise a pair of L-shaped outer plies, the intermediate plies comprise a pair of intermediate plies, and the intermediate plies are located between the foundation and respective ones of the outer plies on opposite lateral sides of the tongue; the complementary chamfers extend completely across the intermediate plies and the pockets in a direction parallel to the tongue; the tongue extends perpendicularly from a central portion of the base to bifurcate the foundation into two lateral portions, the outer plies are secured only to distal ends of the two lateral portions beyond the intermediate plies; and the intermediate plies are bonded to the base and to the tongue with adhesive, and the outer plies are fifed over and bonded to the intermediate plies and to distal portions of the base beyond the pockets to form outermost layers of the member. 10. A structural lug according to claim 9, wherein the outer plies are friction stir welded to the base of the foundation in two locations between the chamfers and lateral distal ends of the outer plies and the base. 11. A structural lug according to claim 9, wherein the outer plies are secured to the base of the foundation with mechanical fasteners between respective lateral distal ends of the intermediate and outer plies.
