Adhesively bonded scarf repairs are the preferred method for repairing composite structures, limited mainly by the amount of material removal associated with scarfing. In addition to the high strength restoration, scarf repairs also enable recovery of the original external surface as required by aerodynamic and/or external mould line considerations. However, scarf repairs almost inevitably result in the removal of undamaged material to make way for the scarf insert. This can be a particularly significant issue for thick structures, because the scarf length can vary between 20 and 100 times the thicknesses of the parent structure. In this investigation, an optimisation method has been developed for determining the optimum repair shapes for a given biaxial loading condition. The optimum scarf shape is determined by numerically solving the resulting non-linear differential equation governing the scarf angle. The optimum and near-optimum shapes are presented and discussed with respect to computational modelling using the finite element method.
