The formation of micro-cracks and crack propagation is still an acute problem in polymer and
polymer composites. These micro-cracks usually occur while the materials are manufactured …

Thermoplastic laminates are increasingly used in the automotive industry, so it is essential to
study convenient and effective repair technologies. In this paper, an adhesively bonded …

ABSTRACT A comprehensive literature review on the existing analytical models based on
different material and geometry behaviors for both single and double-lap joints (as well as …

In this paper, the low-velocity impact response of patch-repaired CFRP laminates is
investigated experimentally and numerically. This study considers various patches of …

In this work tensile behaviour of the patch repaired carbon-glass woven hybrid composites
was investigated with patches of different stiffnesses and stacking sequences with the aid of …

The mechanical behavior of an adhesively bonded single scarf joined Carbon fiber
reinforced polymer (CFRP) laminates under tensile loading is studied. An energy-based …

The present study proposes a method for design optimization of external patched repairs.
The tensile behavior of notched specimens with patched repair was studied using finite …

Composite materials are increasingly used in aircraft structural components with complex
structures like L, C, or T shapes, which can cause delamination failure in the thickness …

In this work, the post‐repair behavior of a quasi‐isotropic laminate was studied in a high‐
velocity impact environment. The composite laminates were repaired using an external …

This work addresses the fracture characterization of scarf adhesive repairs on carbon epoxy
composites under high-cycle fatigue loading. Scarf repairs were tested under static and …
