The composites patch is an effective method to repair metal and composite parts while
keeping the weight of repaired structures almost constant. This review focuses on the …

An experimental and analytical study was conducted to further investigate the effectiveness
of the carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) plates in extending fatigue life of steel …

One-side, low cost carbon/epoxy patches were laminated on large scale specimens, which
were tested and subsequently modelled with the finite element method. An R=− 1 cyclic …

The objective of this study was to compare the performance of the repaired longitudinal
cracks in API X65 pipelines under two different conditions: with patches (ie, single and …

In this study, a new approach is applied to compare the performances of single sided and
double-sided symmetric composite patch with circular shape for repairing cracked aircraft …

The optimization of the patch shape of bonded composite repair in aircraft structures is a
good way to improve the repair performance. In this study, the three-dimensional finite …

This paper presents a numerical study on the fatigue behaviour of edge cracked steel plates
strengthened with carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) laminates based on the boundary …

In this work the finite element method was used to analyse the composite patch shape effect
of the repair performance. Unlike all the works done conducted so far in this domain, this …

This paper aims to analyze the multi-effects of the glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP)
composite patch to repair the inclined cracked 2420-T3 aluminum plate. Three-dimensional …

In this study, the three-dimensional finite element method is used to achieve a comparison
between the semi circular and semi elliptical patch repairs in aircraft structures. The …
