Impact damage in composite materials significantly reduces the residual strength of an aircraft component and is likely to lead to failure due to fatigue, with repair techniques offering a solution to restore the mechanical properties. Experimental testing and numerical modelling were implemented to assess the effect of different patch repair variables on the overall repair performance of carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) composite materials. The results found demonstrate that certain variables have more of an effect on the impact performance of the repaired panels and show that the model chosen is effective in predicting the results observed experimentally.
