摘要: Abstract One-side, low cost carbon/epoxy patches were laminated on large scale specimens, which tested and subsequently modelled with the finite element method. An R = −1 cyclic loading was applied patch strains crack propagation rate monitored. The experimental results very encouraging, demonstrating that can effectively slow down growth extend specimens’ life by a factor of up to 2, despite their relatively stiffness ratio. Based some simplified assumptions, FE modelling proved adequate in accurately predicting rate.
