Predicting failure of cracked aluminum plates with one-sided composite patch

Composite patch repairs are an alternative to weld repair methods to arrest crack growth in metal plates. While these repairs have been effective, it has been difficult to use basic linear elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM) theories and design methods based on LEFM to predict the efficacy of patch re...
