Popis: In this paper, the simultaneous effect of corrosion and cracking on the performance of the bonded composite patch repair in aluminum alloy A5083 marine structure was investigated using three-dimensional finite element methods. To this end, two patches made of carbon/epoxy and boron/epoxy, bonded on corroded plates with and without crack, were tested under different applied loads. The effect of both corroded and cracked materials on the damage of the adhesive FM73 was also highlighted. The obtained results show that the corrosion has a significant effect on the quality of the repair performance. Indeed, it is proved that, the rate of damage increases with the increase of the applied load and is more significant in the case of plates cracked and repaired by carbon/epoxy patch compared to that of boron/epoxy patches.
