Repair Tolerance for Composite Structures Using Probabilistic Methodologies

Abstract

In this chapter, a concept of repair tolerance was proposed by defining two thresholds for damaged composite airframes. Also a probabilistic approach was applied to address uncertainty problems in repair tolerance through Monte Carlo (MC) simulation.
