This review outlines some of the issues which have to be addressed when selecting an
adhesive for a particular structural adhesive bonding application. The designer may find that …

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 …

Adhesively bonded joints are widely used in structures manufactured with composite
laminates. Single-lap adhesive joints are the common most used due to their simple …

This study proposes a surrogate-based optimization model of the external patch design for
damaged carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) laminates to improve the impact …

Over the last four decades, numerous studies have been conducted on the use of bonded
composite repairs for aircraft structures. These studies have explored the repair of damaged …

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 …

In this study, experimental and numerical investigations were carried out in order to compare
the performances of composite and metallic patches for repairing aircraft structures. In the …

This study analyzes the effect of the patch length the repair performance of bonded
composite repair. Experimental and numerical approaches are used. In the experimental …

Patch‐repaired plain woven composite structures were exposed to internal damage caused
by impact during service, which reduced mechanical properties. A multi‐scale modeling …

Aluminum alloys are commonly used in aeronautical applications because of their specific
strength and improved corrosion resistance. These structures, during their service, are …
