Abstract

This paper illustrates the problems of the repair engineer in the field when no stress analysis or structural repair manual is available. In this extreme situation he can only seek to restore the original strength of the damaged part whether or not all of that strength is actually required. Two major design factors are considered, ie overlap shear joints and core to skin bond strength. Back-up by rivets or bolts is discussed and also sealing the repair with a fabric overlay to prevent or minimize water ingress. The paper concludes with a practical example of a repair using the data provided.
