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 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 …

In this study, the adhesive damage in bonded composite repair of aircraft structures is
analyzed using a three dimensional finite element method. Four different patch shapes were …

In this work, a model based on the combination of two approaches XFEM and CZM, has
been used to predict the damage of repairs by composite patch (patch/adhesive/plate …

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 …

In this study, the performances of aged bonded composite repair of aircraft structures have
been evaluated by conducting experimental and numerical investigations. The accelerating …

The technology of bonded composite repair has displayed its effectiveness in increasing the
residual fatigue life of cracked aeronautical structures. However, two major phenomena …

Adhesives play important roles in bonded composite repair as it ensures the transfer of load
between the composite patch and the cracked aluminum component. Also, it holds the two …

In this study the finite element method is used to analyse the effect of the thermal residual
stresses resulting from adhesive curing on the performances of the bonded composite repair …

In this study, the mechanical properties of the aged adhesive Adekit A140 epoxy were used
in a finite element model to evaluate the effect of water absorption on the adhesive damage …
