Enhancing repair of cracked plate using fiber-reinforced composite patch: experimental and simulation analysis

In this study, a fiber-reinforced composite patch was bonded to one side of a cracked aluminum plate using Araldite-2014 adhesive. Experimental tensile tests were conducted on both repaired and unrepaired plates, with further analysis of the effects of patch material and dimensions performed using A...
