Abstract
The repairing of damaged composite materials becomes a hot research subject in the late 1990s. In this paper a new technology of repairing composite materials is given on the basis of our previous research. The light wave of 675 nm transmitted by optical fiber is used as repairing light source, special repairable adhesive which can be stimulated by the light is adopted. By comparing the stiffness of the composite material before and after being damaged, it can be concluded that the mechanical property will not be changed with the feasible repairing technology.
