This report describes an experimental program into the damage tolerance of boron/epoxy repairs to multi-site damage in a typical aircraft fuselage lap joint. Repaired lap joint specimens containing adhesive disbonds and impact damage were evaluated using both fatigue and static tension tests. It was demonstrated that such damage had no significant effect on the performance of the repairs. Damage tolerance, Impact damage, Bonded composite repairs, Lap joints, Fuselages, Fatigue tests, Tension tests.
