This is a PDF file of an unedited manuscript that has been accepted for publication. As a service to our customers we are providing this early version of the manuscript. The manuscript will undergo copyediting, typesetting, and review of the resulting proof before it is published in its final form. Please note that during the production process errors may be discovered which could affect the content, and all legal disclaimers that apply to the journal pertain.
Highlights
In single sided repair one sided patch causes additional bending and mode mixity. In single sided repair non-uniform crack growth profile is observed. Adhesive interface modelled as cohesive zone using contact elements. Double sided repair offered maximum reduction in SIF and higher fatigue life. DIC is found out to be a suitable technique to monitor crack growth accurately.
