A host of one and two-sided composite patch reinforcements of metallic structures with different patch thickness were considered, in order to compare two-dimensional finite element analysis using shell laminate elements with three-dimensional finite element analysis. In order to verify the accuracy of this approach a parametric study has been performed and the 2D results were compared to the outcome of the corresponding three-dimensional finite element analysis, which accuracy has been experimentally verified in previous works. It was found that for the case of two-sided reinforcement the results obtained by the two methods were in very good agreement. For the case of one-sided reinforcement some deviation of the results of two-dimensional analysis has been observed, which was due to the tendency of the structure for out-of-plane bending, resulting from the bonding of a reinforcing patch to only one face of the structure. According to the results of this parametric study and since most aircraft structures are constrained against local out-of-plane bending (e.g. aircraft skins through stringers) two-dimensional finite elements analysis using shell laminate elements is proposed as an accurate and easy to use analysis tool for the design of both one and two-sided composite patch repairs of relatively simple structures.

As an important forged part of an automobile, the inner hole of the half-shaft bushing must be formed directly. However, the process requires many steps, and how the forging, or deformation, is spread over the production steps directly affects the die life and forging force required. In this paper, the three steps involved in directly forging a half shaft bushing's inner hole are simulated using the two-dimensional finite element method. Further more, we improve the forging process. From numerical calculation, the improved necessary forging force is found to be only half the original force, and the die life is doubled.
