Composite Repair

Bonded composite repairs are efficient and costly damages in metallic structures, and composite structures. This book has been working on the Boeing Company and the Defense Science and Technology Organization (DSTO, Australia) over the past ten years. Conservation and analysis of composite repairs. Composite Repair is completely devoted to the design and analysis of bonded repairs. The topics are covered in a sufficiently self-explanatory manner, and are referred to as engineers, scientists, practitioners in the underpinning design methodology and the modeling of composite repairs.

* The only book devoted to the design and analysis of bonded repairs
* Focusing on mathematical techniques and analytical methodologies that are critical to the successful implementation of bonded repair
* A companion reference book to the United Stated Air Force (USAF) Bonded repair guidelines (Guidelines for Metallic Structures-CRMS, AFRL-WP-TR-1998-4113) and the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) Design Standard DEF (AUST) 995
* Covering a variety of topics and effects: repairs of fatigue cracks, anti-aging cavities, and effects of secondary bending, octagon-shaped patches, thermal residual stresses, patches in proximity, patch tapering edge, etc.
