Strap repairs using embedded patches: numerical analysis and experimental results

Adhesively bonded repairs offer an attractive option for repair of aluminium structures, compared to more traditional methods such as fastening or welding. The single-strap (SS) and double-strap (DS) repairs are very straightforward to execute but stresses in the adhesive layer peak at the overlap ends. The DS repair requires both sides of the damaged structures to be reachable for repair, which is often not possible. In strap repairs, with the patches bonded at the outer surfaces, some limitations emerge such as the weight, aerodynamics and aesthetics. To minimize these effects, SS and DS repairs with embedded patches were evaluated in this work, such that the patches are flush with the adherends. For this purpose, in this work standard SS and DS repairs, and also with the patches embedded in the adherends, were tested under tension to allow the optimization of some repair variables such as the overlap length (LO) and type of adhesive, thus allowing the maximization of the repair strength. The effect of embedding the patch/patches on the fracture modes and failure loads was compared with finite elements (FE) analysis. The FE analysis was performed in ABAQUS® and cohesive zone modelling was used for the simulation of damage onset and growth in the adhesive layer. The comparison with the test data revealed an accurate prediction for all kinds of joints and provided some principles regarding this technique.

Espectro alimentario del Patudo (Thunnus obesus) en lo Primavera Austral de 1986 en el Pacífico Sur Oriental.

En la primavera austral de 1986, 52 ejemplares de Thunnus obesus (patudo) fueron colectados entre 0-10º S y 95-105º W. Sus contenidos estomacales fueron identificados, contados y pesados.

Distribución vertical del krill (Euphasia superba) en función de los parámetros oceanográficos a lo largo del estrecho de Bransfield. Vernao austral 1998. Perú Antar IX

Se ha determinado, mediante un análisis preliminar, que el krill (Euphausia superba) se distribuyó en aguas provenientes del Mar de Wedell y en aquellas procedentes del Paso Drake a lo largo del Estrecho de Bransfield y al sur de la Isla Elefante. En cuanto a sus parámetros preferenciales de distribución se ha determinado que esta especie se distribuyó en aguas con relativamente baja temperatura, pero con altos contenidos de salinidad y oxígeno.

Temperaturas superficiales del mar a lo largo de la costa peruana para el periodo 1950-1988

Se presentan las series de tiempo mensuales de las Temperaturas Superficiales de Mar (TSM) de 9 estaciones costeras localizadas a lo lardo de la costa peruana, para el periodo enero 1950 - abril 1988 y un análisis preliminar de su variabilidad espacial y temporal.
