Research abstract
Bonded repair is a preferred technique for repairing localized damage in aircraft structures like Apache, Chinook and Comanche that can efficiently restore the ultimate load capability of the structure. However, the effectiveness of the repair depends uponthe integrity of the bonding interface between the repair patch and the host structure. Currently there are no inspection methods that can provide an in-situ assessment of the initial
