MotivationMotivation
• Composite Repair Needs are Increasing• Scarf Repair
– repair technology– adhesive properties– patch geometry– special requirements– patch composition
(ply-by-ply replacement?)
• Specimen preparation• Basic material properties• Experimental results• Modeling approach• Optimization• Conclusion
Outline
Large Tensile Panels – Manufacture
• Cut coupons from panels– Bond tabs (EPON 828)– Drill holes for grip interface
• Scarf portion of coupons– Scarfomatic– Manufacture vacuum table jig– Fairly repeatable

in 3-D, (p-element–particular case.• Multibasis global-local approximations
for laminated structures• General anisotropy, including
continuous point-wise variability• Cluster – BSAM “solid element”• Cluster geometries are restricted to
being parametric

Strength Results
Conclusions
• Developed highly repetitive scarfing and repair procedures for IM6/3501-6 composites by using Scarfomatic device.
• Benchmarked strength prediction of scarfed and repaired panels based on small UNNOTCHED coupon tensile strength calibration– Good agreement with both scarfed and repair strength– Modeling of adhesive failure is critical for repair strength prediction
• Optimization of the patch composition to delay adhesive failure– Understood the stress transfer mechanisms with/- the overply– 20% or more effect on strength due to patch composition
• Softening of the patch– Fabric patch makeup– Stress in the adherend
• Future work– Adhesive characterization– Multidirectional loading– Testing
