Abstract
Composite materials are prone to damage during their operation and service condition. In these circumstances, composite patch repair is a promising alternative to the damaged part as it enhances the properties of the damaged material. This work performed static and fatigue tensile tests on pristine, drill, and two external patch-repaired samples (15 and 30 mm square patches). Both the 15 mm and 30 mm patch-repaired samples showed 8% and 31% improvement in fatigue life compared to the drill sample, respectively. Furthermore, to understand the effect of graphene nanoparticles (GNP), the 30 mm patch was preferred due to its superiority in improving mechanical properties. In order to enhance fatigue life, GNP of different weight percentages (0.3, 0.5, 0.7, and 0.9) were added to the patch-parent interface. A 0.5 wt% GNP provided approximately 157% and 96% improvement in fatigue life compared to drilled and repaired specimens, respectively. A thorough understanding of GNP addition in repaired composites with the help of failure pattern, DIC, and AE has been elaborated.
