Parameter influence on tensile properties of scarf-repaired composite laminates

A finite element model of scarf repaired laminates in tension is built in this paper. The ultimate strengths of the repaired structures are calculated with progressive damage analysis method. The predicted results agreeing well with the experimental results which means the model is effective. The failure model of these structures is adhesive failure which is obtained by analyzing the failure process of these structures. The effects of scarf...
