Progress in Research of Fatigue Properties of Scarf-Repaired Composite Laminates
With wider applications of fiber reinforced composite structures,the repair problems have become increasingly prominent.The scarf repair plays a significant role in the composite laminate repair,and the fatigue properties of repaired structures are the important factors to characterize repair efficiency,thus the investigations on fatigue properties of scarf-repaired composite laminates are of great significance.In this paper,the status of research on the fatigue performance of scarf-repaired composite laminates were summarized from the aspects of models and experiments,and the problems in the current research of fatigue properties of scarf-repaired composite structures were analyzed in order to provide a reference for the research and application of scarf repair for composite structures.
