Numerical Simulation on Cracked Plate Repaired with Carbon-Fiber Wrapped Composite Material

Article Preview

Abstract:

The behavior of a center-cracked aluminum plate repaired with carbon-fiber wrapped composite material under axial loading is investigated. The carbon-fiber wrapped composite material is simulated as transversely isotropic material by means of an equivalent modulus method. The repair patch is applied on one side of the cracked plate. The stress intensity factors along the crack front and the stress distribution at the repair domain are examined. The numerical simulation results indicate that the carbon-fiber wrapped composite material performs very well in the repair to cracked plate and an appropriate thickness of the repair patch needs to be selected.
