An experimental and numerical study concerning the tensile behaviour of adhesively-bonded carbonepoxy scarf repairs is presented, using scarf angles ranging from 2Β°to 45Β°. A mixed-mode cohesive damage model adequate for ductile adhesives was used to simulate the adhesive layer. The cohesive laws of

β¦ Synopsis
This paper addresses the response of a 17-ply anti-symmetric carbon/epoxy composite subjected to uniaxial tensile loading. Hashin ply damage model is adopted to describe the damage behaviour of the plies, whereas damage initiation and progression of the interfaces are characterised by mixed-mode cohesive damage model. Forcedisplacement curves obtained numerically and experimentally show good agreement. Results show that all laminae and interfaces experience the damage except laminae with 0 o fibre. In addition, damage is concentrated at the tab and central regions of the tensile specimen. Edge delamination is observed in all interfaces.
