Abstract
    This paper presents a three-dimensional finite element method analysis of repairing plate with bonded composite patch subjected to tensile load. The effect of the corrosion on the damage of the adhesive (FM73) in the length of two horizontal cracks on the both sides is presented. The obtained results show that the crack on the left side creates a very extensive area of the damaged zone and gives values of the stress intensity factor (SIF) higher than that on the right side. We can conclude that the left crack is more harmful (dangerous) than that on the right side.
