An Experimental and Numerical Study of Repairs on Composite Substrates with Composite and Aluminum Doublers Using Riveted, Bonded, and Hybrid Joints

In this work, experimental and numerical analyses of repairs on carbon fiber reinforced epoxy (CFRE) substrates, with CFRE and aluminum alloy doublers typical of aircraft structures, are presented. The substrates have a bridge gap of 12.7 mm (simulated crack), repaired with twin doublers joined with...
