Many composite structures encounter damage, which needs to be identified and assessed, and a decision to repair made. Repair may be advantageous in terms of cost and/or faster return to service. It may also be a more sustainable option versus replacement.

This webinar is an introduction to repair of composite structures. It will start with an overview of various types of damage and the damage assessment process. It will explore how decisions to repair, replace, or return to service are made and discuss the general steps involved in composite repair including inspection, preparation, repair goals, and validation.
