To a lesser extent a similar situation is arising with civil aircraft, with falling revenues and the high cost of replacement aircraft. This book looks at repair/reinforcement technology, which is based on the use of adhesively bonded fibre composite patches or doublers and can provide cost-effective life extension in many situations. From the scientific and engineering viewpoint, whilst simple in concept, this technology can be quite challenging particularly when used to repair primary structure. This is due to it being based on interrelated inputs from the fields of aircraft design, solid mechanics, fibre composites, structural adhesive bonding, fracture mechanics and metal fatigue. The technologies of non-destructive inspection (NDI) and, more recently smart materials, are also included. Operational issues are equally critical, including airworthiness certification, application technology (including health and safety issues), and training. Including contributions from leading experts in Canada, UK, USA and Australia, this book discusses most of these issues and the latest developments. Most importantly, it contains real histories of application of this technology to both military and civil aircraft 533 $aElectronic reproduction.$bAmsterdam :$cElsevier Science & Technology,$d2007.$nMode of access: World Wide Web.$nSystem requirements: Web browser.$nTitle from title screen (viewed on Aug. 2, 2007).$nAccess may be restricted to users at subscribing institutions 650 0$aAirplanes$xMaintenance and repair$xMaterials 650 0$aAirframes$xMaintenance and repair 650 0$aAdhesives 650 0$aMetal bonding 655 7$aElectronic books.$2local 700 1 $aBaker, Alan A. 700 1 $aRose, Francis 700 1 $aJones, Rhys) 776 1 $cOriginal$z0080426999$z9780080426990$w(DLC) 2002035410$w(OCoLC)50851968 856 40$3Referex$uhttp://www.sciencedirect.com/science/book/9780080426990$zAn electronic book accessible through the World Wide Web; click for information 856 42$zPublisher description$uhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0613/2002035410-d.html 856 41$zTable of contents only$uhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0613/2002035410-t.html 907 $a.b13651900$b03-03-22$c24-01-08 912 $a991003228089707536 996 $aAdvances in the bonded composite repair of metallic aircraft structure$91213335 997 $aUNISALENTO 998 $ale026$b24-01-08$cm$d@ $e-$feng$gne $h0$i0
