A prior study conducted by the authors had investigated the behaviour of thin composite
double lap joint repairs. This investigation was an extension to the previous study and …

The static strength and fatigue resistance of mechanically fastened, bonded and hybrid
double lap joints using relatively thin carbon fiber adherends have been experimentally …

Fibre reinforced polymer matrix composites are being increasingly used for aircraft
structures because of their superior structural performance, such as high strength, high …

Carbon–epoxy composite laminate recovery rates are analyzed with respect to their static
and fatigue strengths following local-damage repair using the scarf-patch bonding method …

Structural adhesive joints involving Selective Laser Melting (SLM) titanium bonded to
titanium or to a composite material have significant potential for weight and cost saving in …

Scarf or stepped-lap repairs are desirable for composite structures in aerospace, especially
where a flush finish is required. Damage tolerance is a critical issue in the repair design …

Finite element analysis (FEA) is performed to verify the static and fatigue strength of
mechanically fastened, bonded and hybrid double lap joints. These joints are made from …

Adhesive bonded repairs are commonly used to restore the strength of impact‐damaged
thermoset composites. However, due to low surface energy, thermoplastic composites face …

The use of composite materials is widely spread across the Aerospace sector. Scarf and
step lap joints are amongst the most commonly used methods for flush joint repairs; they …

Fracture modes I and II interact in mixed-mode loading conditions, and the interaction is
typically taken into account using a mixed-mode fracture criterion. In this work, a concept for …
