80年代初，北岛被指定为支持美国F/A-18舰队的中央维修地点。北岛车辆段建造了一座大型维修设施，专门用于复合材料维修，认识到需要与这项新技术相关的专业维修流程。经过几年的复合材料维修经验，北岛已经建立了一个维修信息数据库，作为其维修设计工程师评估损伤和设计F/A-18先进复合材料部件恢复到全强度的永久性维修的工具。本文讨论了北岛对F/A-18飞机先进复合材料部件损坏的常见修复方法。 本文将涵盖一系列修复方法，从相对简单的注射方法到复杂的围巾路径修复，以及模具工具的使用。

IN THE EARLY 80S, NORTH ISLAND WAS DESIGNATED AS THE CENTRAL REPAIR LOCATION IN SUPPORT OF THE U.S. F/A-18 FLEET. THE DEPOT AT NORTH ISLAND CONSTRUCTED A LARGE REPAIR FACILITY DEDICATED EXCLUSIVELY TO COMPOSITE REPAIR RECOGNIZING THE NEED FOR SPECIALIZED REPAIR PROCESSES PERTINENT TO THIS NEW TECHNOLOGY. AFTER SEVERAL YEARS OF COMPOSITE REPAIR EXPERIENCE, NORTH ISLAND HAS COMPILED A DATABASE OF REPAIR INFORMATION AS A TOOL FOR ITS REPAIR DESIGN ENGINEERS IN ASSESSING DAMAGES AND DESIGNING RETURN- TO-FULL STRENGTH, PERMANENT REPAIRS TO F/A-18 ADVANCED COMPOSITES COMPONENTS. THIS PAPER DISCUSSES COMMON REPAIR METHODS PRACTICED AT NORTH ISLAND FOR DAMAGED F/A-18 AIRCRAFT ADVANCED COMPOSITES COMPONENTS. THE PAPER WILL COVER A RANGE OF REPAIR APPROACHES FROM A RELATIVELY SIMPLE INJECTION METHOD TO SOPHISTICATED SCARF PATH REPAIRS AND THE USE OF MOLDFORM TOOLS.
