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 …

In many industries, when replacement of a part is not possible or economic, the repair is
done. One of the best methods for repairing metal and composite parts is using composite …

Composite repair is gaining importance for extending the service life of aging aircrafts. There
are many parameters like patch thickness, patch layup configuration and patch shape …

In the field of composites patch repair, it is necessary to improve the repair performance of
adhesive due to its important role in repair efficiency and durability. A bi-adhesive repair …

The problem of damage evolution in composite structures, the way it propagates,
performance and behavior is of paramount importance in utilizing them for structural …

In this study, a numerical study on failure assessment and stress distribution on the adhesive
region in a composite T-joint under bending load case is investigated using cohesive zone …

Carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) composite laminates have become popular for
structural applications as they are lighter, stronger and tougher. But they are also …

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 …

This paper presents results of an experimental investigation on the impact response of
repaired and unrepaired glass/epoxy composite plates. Repaired samples were prepared …

In this study, the effects of patch shape on the performance of bonded composite repairs on
aircraft structures are investigated using experimental and numerical approaches. Fatigue …
