Abstract

"This research investigates the effect of corrosion on composite patch repaired aluminum aircraft panels. The effect of different corrosive environments extended for various intervals of time on the mechanical and material properties was investigated and the effect of corrosion in the bonding characteristics of the adhesive and the patch was explored."--Abstract, page iv.
