Abstract: In order to investigate the fatigue behavior of the adhesive bonding repair in composite, the model of adhesive bonding structure with different patch dimension has been constructed based on the three-dimensional progressive damage theory. The ultimate static strength and residual strength of the bonding structure are predicted using damage subroutine, and the comparative analysis of fatigue test and static tensile test were performed. Five circle patches of different dimension are selected for evaluating the repair performance. Meanwhile, the damage degradation mechanism of the patch repair structure under different stress levels with different cyclic loadings is studied by microcosmic measurement. The results reveal that the ultimate static strength of the adhesive bonding structure with the 3.5r patch is better than others. And the residual strength of the adhesive bonding structure with the 2.5r patch is maximal. Under low fatigue cyclic loading, the dominant damage is normally matrix cracking, while fiber breaking is the main damage pattern at the high fatigue cyclic loading for composite materials.
