Repair of Advanced Composites for Aerospace Applications

This book focusses on the theme of repairing polymer composites for critical components used in aerospace industries including the complexities of failure and repair of composites, type of fiber reinforcement and bonding and so forth. It includes special topics on damage assessment using onsite inspection (NDT and THz techniques) and automated repair processes for reliability and repeatability. This book also describes the characterization, modeling and simulation of the composites damage mechanisms with respect to the specific environment and applications. Failures associated with various composite repairing techniques for aerospace applications are also covered--
