Designing for damage-tolerant composite repairs

Abstract This paper presents a design methodology, and the associated data base, for the damage-tolerant design of adhesively bonded repairs. This methodology is illustrated by considering repairs to an edge-cracked panel and to multi-site damage in a fuselage lap joint.
