SIF

The aim of this study is to estimate numerically the beneficial effect of the double symmetric patch compared to the single one for repairing inclined cracks using the finite element method. The obtained results show that the reduction of both mode I and mode II stress intensity factors (K I and K II ) is more important with a double symmetric patch. The effects of the adhesive, patch and plate properties on the rate of reduction of the stress intensity factors are highlighted.
