Structural Design of BFRP Patches for Mirage Wing Repair.

Abstract

This paper is concerned with the design aspects of two repair schemes developed for application to the lower wing skin of Mirage aircraft. Both repairs involve bonding a boron fibre reinforced plastic (BFRP) patch to the wing skin. In one instance the skin is cracked and the patch is acting as a crack stopper, while in the other instance the patch covers a series of holes and its prime purpose is to lower the stress field.
