摘要
This paper describes studies on fatigue crack propagation in cracked aluminium alloy (2024 T3) panels repaired with boron/epoxy patches, adhesively bonded with either an epoxy-nitrile film adhesive or an acrylic adhesive. Studies were undertaken to assess the effect on patching efficiency of (a) disbonding of the patch system and (b) test temperature. A simple model is proposed for estimating the reduction of patching efficiency due to cyclic disbonding of the reinforcement. In the elevated-temperature tests it was found, unexpectedly, that patching efficiency in panels patched using the film adhesive was unaffected by temperatures up to 100-degrees-C.
