Description
The availability of efficient and cost-effective technologies to repair or extend the life of aging military airframes is becoming a critical
requirement in most countries around the world, as new aircraft becoming prohibitively expensive and defence budgets shrink. To a lesser
extent a similar situation is arising with civil aircraft, with falling revenues and the high cost of replacement aircraft.
This
book looks at repair/reinforcement technology, which is based on the use of adhesively bonded fibre composite patches or doublers and
can provide cost-effective life extension in many situations. From the scientific and engineering viewpoint, whilst simple in concept,
this technology can be quite challenging particularly when used to repair primary structure. This is due to it being based on interrelated
inputs from the fields of aircraft design, solid mechanics, fibre composites, structural adhesive bonding, fracture mechanics and metal
fatigue. The technologies of non-destructive inspection (NDI) and, more recently smart materials, are also included. Operational issues
are equally critical, including airworthiness certification, application technology (including health and safety issues), and training.
Including contributions from leading experts in Canada, UK, USA and Australia, this book discusses most of these issues and the latest
developments. Most importantly, it contains real histories of application of this technology to both military and civil aircraft.
Audience
For aerospace engineers and scientists, marine, automotive and civil engineers, materials scientists, structural analysts.
