The Effect of Patching Properties on Tensile Stress Behaviours in The Repair of Composite Plates
Abstract
In this study, the effect of patch sizes and number of patch layers on tensile stress behavior in the repair of elliptical damaged laminated composite sheets was investigated experimentally. For this purpose, glass fiber reinforced laminated composite sheets with elliptical holes were prepared. These plates were subjected to tensile loads and their failure loads were determined experimentally. Then, using DP460 adhesive material, glass fiber reinforced composite sheets with elliptical damage were repaired using single-sided lap joints with glass fiber reinforced composite patches of varying sizes and layer numbers, and the repaired samples were subjected to tensile loads and their failure loads were determined and its effects on stress behavior were also investigated experimentally.
