This study presents a numerical prediction of the fatigue life of steel panels repaired by a composite patch. The effect of length cracks, the stress ratio R and properties of the patch is presented. The obtained results show that the bonded composite repair significantly reduces the stress intensity factors at the tip of repaired cracks. The results are in a good agreement with those in the literature. The Monte Carlo method is used to predict the distribution function governing crack propagation in fatigue analysis. In computing the failure probability of the structure, we consider the statistical uncertainty associated with key variables, along with the previously discussed model uncertainty. The results obtained highlight the considerable impact of variations in crack length and stress ratio on the distribution function. Notably, uncertainty in these parameters significantly amplifies the probability of structural failure in plates, thereby diminishing overall structural durability.

In this study the distribution of microhardness in a polypropylene microcomposite reinforced with talc microparticles was measured experimentally. The microhardness was measured at different points of the composite material to try to observe the effects of the talc particles and their proportion in the composite on the hardness of the reinforced polymer. Four proportions of talc were used: 5,40 and 50 wt.%, in addition to virgin polypropylene, which was taken as the reference. Statistical analysis was performed on the distribution of the microhardness in the PP+talc composites to determine the average microhardness and the standard deviation. The obtained results reveal a random distribution of the microhardness of the composite, but in general the presence of talc particles increases the microhardness of the polypropylene.
