About this title

About the Authors

Dr. Cong Duong received a B.S. degree in Aerospace Engineering from California Polytechnic State University, Pomona (1984), a S.M. degree in Aeronautics and Astronautics from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (1986), and a Ph.D. in Applied Mechanics from California Institute of Technology (1994). He is currently an Associated Technical Fellow of the Boeing Company where he has been working in the durability and damage tolerance group for sixteen years. From 1999-2005, he was a principal investigator of the USAF funded Composite Repair of Aircraft Structures (CRAS) program. Under that program, he had developed and implemented analytical and computational methods for design and analysis of bonded repairs over metallic aircraft structures. He is currently developing analytical methods for determining the allowable damage limits and the allowable repair limits on airframe of the new Boeing 787. He has published about twenty papers in peer-review journals, mostly on the subjects of bonded repairs, bonded joints and fracture mechanics.

Dr. Chun Wang is a Principal Research Scientist and the Head of Composite and Low-Observable Structures in the Air Vehicles Division, DSTO, Australia. He has a PhD in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Sheffield, UK. Prior to joining DSTO in 1995, he held academic positions at the University of Sheffield (UK), the University of Sydney (Australia) and Deakin University (Australia). His main research expertises are in the areas of fatigue and fracture mechanics, composite structures, bonded structural repairs, and scattering of acoustic and electromagnetic waves. He has published over eighty journal articles and book chapters, and over eighty conference papers.

From the Back Cover

Bonded composite repairs are efficient and cost effective means of repairing cracks and corrosion grind-out cavity in metallic structures, and composite structures sustained impact and ballistic damages, especially in aircraft structures. This book grew out of the recent research conducted at the Boeing Company and the Defence Science and Technology Organisation (DSTO, Australia) over the past ten years. Consequently this book is predominately a compilation of the work by the authors and their colleague at these two organizations on the design and analysis of composite repairs. Even though currently there are two edited books available on this particular topic, (Bonded Repair of Aircraft Structures, editors Baker and Jones, 1988, Martinus Nijhoff Publisher; Advances in Bonded Composite Repair of Metallic Structure, Baker et al, 2002, Elsevier), none have provided sufficient treatment of the design and analysis of bonded composite repairs. This book is therefore developed to fill in that gap by devoting its content entirely to the design and analysis of bonded repairs, focusing on the mathematical techniques and analysis approaches that are critical to the successful implementation of bonded repairs. The topics addressed in this book are developed to the extent that the presentation is sufficiently self-explanatory, and hence could serve as a state-of-the-art reference guide to engineers, scientists, researchers and practitioners interested in the underpinning design methodology and the modelling of composite repairs. Furthermore, this book can be used as a companion reference book to the United States Air Force (USAF) bonded repair guidelines (Guidelines for Composite Repair of Metallic Structure-CRMS, AFRL-WP-TR-1998-4113) and the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) Design Standard DEF(AUST)9005 that are currently used by most practitioners and field repair engineers through out the world, as well as for the new software called CRAS (Composite Repair of Aircraft Structures) developed by the Boeing Company and funded by the USAF.
