Abstract

The material properties degradation of the internal scarf repaired samples under the low velocity impact was investigated through FE-simulation results. In the FE model, Hashin failure criteria was used in order to recognize the damage and material properties degradation. In this research work the range of scarf repair was tested under out-plane load for each scarf angle FE model was created and impact energy was employed to it. The FE result revealed that the contact force, impact time and absorbed energy increase with rising of scarf angle.
