SUMMARY:An investigation into the effectiveness of patch repairs to restor
 e impact properties of CFRPs for aerostructure application - Zoe Hall\, De

DESCRIPTION:Impact damage in composite materials significantly reduces the
  residual strength of an aircraft component and is likely to lead to failu
 re due to fatigue\, with repair techniques offering a solution to restore 
 the mechanical properties. Experimental testing and numerical modelling we
 re implemented to assess the effect of different patch repair variables on
  the overall repair performance of carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) 
 composite materials. The results found demonstrate that certain variables 
 have more of an effect on the impact performance of the repaired panels an
 d show that the model chosen is effective in predicting the results observ
 ed experimentally.
