    Experimental Investigation Into the Tensile Strength Post-Repair on Damaged Aluminium 2024 -T3 Plates Using Hybrid Bonding/Riveting
    (Sciendo, 2024) Merah, Abdelkrim; Houari, Amin; Madani, Kouider; Belhouari, Mohamed; Amroune, Salah; Chellil, Ahmed; Yahia, Cherif Zineelabidine; Campilho, Raul D.S.G. Duarte Salgueiral Gomes
    Since the implementation of repair processes by composite patch bonding, this process has consistently demonstrated high performance across various industrial sectors, especially in the fields of aeronautics, aerospace and civil engineering. Consequently, there are situations in which the riveting process becomes the sole solution, particularly when the structure is subjected to severe mechanical or thermo-mechanical stresses, since adhesives have low mechanical strength after aging. Each method has its own set of advantages and disadvantages. The current trend is to combine these two processes to minimise their drawbacks as much as possible. The objective of this work is to present an experimental study on the repair of an aluminium plate AL2024-T3 with a central circular notch using a patch of different nature (metal or composite), under tensile loading conditions. The repair composite considered is a carbon/epoxide. The results of the tensile tests showed that the repair by the combination of the two processes improves the mechanical strength of the damaged structure. A comparison of the results of the experimental curves obtained on riveted, bonded and hybrid assemblies has been taken into consideration.

The repair composite considered is a carbon/epoxide. The results of the tensile tests clearly showed that the repair by the combination of the two processes clearly improves the mechanical strength of the damaged structure.

    Optimal Prediction for Patch Design Using YUKI-RANDOM-FOREST in a Cracked Pipeline Repaired with CFRP
    (Springer Nature, 2024) Oulad Brahim, Abdelmoumin; Capozucca, Roberto; Khatir, Samir; Fahem, Noureddine; Benaissa, Brahim; Cuong-Le, Thanh
    This paper presents the effectiveness of a hybrid YUKI-RANDOM-FOREST, Particle Swarm Optimization-YUKI (PSO-YUKI), and balancing composite motion optimization algorithm (BCMO) based on artificial neural networks (ANN) for the best prediction of patch design considering the maximum principal stress. The study compares the maximum principal stress in a damaged pipe under different composite patch designs. Robust models have been developed and utilized in various applications. The research investigates the influence of cracks on the mechanical characteristics of API X70 steel in a test pipe under critical pressure. The numerical model employs the extended finite element method (XFEM) to simulate notches. Extending the optimization technique, the study examines the effect of crack presence in a pipeline section under internal pressure without and with composite repairs on the maximum principal stress. The sensitivity of stress is analyzed with respect to the design parameters of the composite patch. Finally, YUKI-RANDOM-FOREST, NN-PSO-YUKI, and NN-BCMO, with different parameters and hidden layer sizes are employed to predict the maximum principal stress under different composite patch designs, and yielding minimal error. Once the database was built, our model was prepared to predict various situations at the composite patch level. Compared to other methods, the obtained results with hybrid YUKI-RANDOM-FOREST are effective. The investigation technique is relevant to real-world engineering applications, structural safety control, and design processes.
