Abstract: GFRP composites are replaced by metals in extreme domains due to high strength to weigth ratio. Presence of damage in a composite pannel reduces the structural integrity. The current research discusses about the criteria to improve the tensile strength of uni-directional glass fiber composite laminate using adhesively bonded patch repair over the damage area. The paper uses SIEMENS NX10 tool for modelling the samples and the structural analysis with and without patch work was done in ANSYS 19.1 work bench. The results are compared finally.
