Despite the many attractive attributes of composites such as their high specific strength and modulus, and resistance to corrosion; degradation over time and accidental damage during service life are still major inherent challenges. As the uses of composites grow, testing and understanding of repair and the maintenance of composites especially safety critical parts has become of paramount importance. Understanding the appropriate repair technique will not only help in giving a second life to the composite; it will also contribute significantly towards the end-of-life options for composite...
