Optimization of Composite Material Repair Patch Shape Based on Strength Analysis
Source abstract
Abstract
With the increasing use of composite materials in aircraft structures and the extension of their service life, the selection of repair patch shapes for composite material damage repair has become a significant engineering concern. The ultimate strength of the repaired structure is among the main evaluation criteria for selecting optimal patch shapes. In this study, strength analysis is conducted along with the use of the Digital Image Correlation (DIC) method to assess the quality of the repaired components, making the evaluation method more rational. Early studies often focused on simplified models, which diverged significantly from the practicalities of maintenance engineering in civil aviation. Therefore, it is essential to research full-scale composite material repair patches, as this will provide a more reliable basis for the optimal selection of patch shapes in composite material maintenance engineering for civil aircraft.
