Many military and commercial aging aircrafts flying beyond their design life may experience
severe crack and corrosion damage, and thus lead to catastrophic failures. In this paper, the
design, fabrication and analysis of adhesively bonded thick composite patch repair of
circular corrosion grind-out and a crack propagating on the periphery of the corrosion grind-
out on thick 2024 T3 clad aluminum aircraft panel is presented. Thick orthogonal composite
patch configurations of 7–25 plies were designed separately for crack and corrosion grind …
