This experimental study investigates the effect of scarf geometry in restoring the impact response of scarf-patched 3 mm thick glass-fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) matrix composite laminates. Traditional circular along with rounded rectangular scarf patch configurations are considered repair patche...
