Finite element and analytical analysis of cracks in thick stiffened plates repaired with a single–sided composite patch
Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited === The purpose of this thesis was to investigate crack growth behavior in thick stiffened aluminum plates repaired with a single-sided composite patch. A model was developed using finite element analysis that extracted the mode I strain energy...
