Experimental and numerical investigation in failure of cracked aluminum plates repaired with bonded FML composite patch, under impact loading

In this paper, Charpy impact tests were conducted on cracked aluminum plates repaired with FML composite patches. The effects of the crack characteristics and patch lay-up sequence on the energy absorption of the specimens were investigated experimentally. In order to reduce the test numbers, the de...
