a
Patch repair is one of the most common techniques used to strengthen thin
constructions containing imperfections such as cracks and holes. There is a
significant amount of scientific literature dedicated to the topic with different
types of the plate-patch attachment being considered. In particular, the plate
andthepatchescanbeattachedtoeachotherusingadhesiveappliedalongparts
of their surfaces (two-dimensional) or along some contours (one-dimensional),
or only at certain point by using rivets. The detailed review of the literature
on the bonded (two-dimensional) repair of the cracked plates can be seen in
[1], [3], [6] and many others. Reinforcement of plates with holes is studied less
extensively. Engels et al. [2] have considered a bonded repair of an anisotropic

plate with a hole. Some problems on the reinforcement of a cracked plate with
circularholes havebeen studied numerically in [4]. The patch repairof a single
hole in a thin plate reinforced by a single patch is considered for two different
types of the plate-patch attachment in [8], [9]. To the author’s knowledge, a
patchrepairofmultiple holesin a plate by multiple patchesofarbitraryshapes
has not been a subject of many studies with an exception of [10].
In this paper, a reinforcement of a plate with multiple holes with several
patches is considered for two types of the plate-patch attachment: only along
the boundary of the patch or along both the boundary of the patch and the
boundaries of the holes covered by the patch. It is assumed that the patch is
loaded with in-plane stresses applied to the free unattached boundaries of the
holesandatinfinitypointoftheplate. Thelocation,thequantityandtheshape
of the patches can be arbitrary with the only condition that the boundaries of
the patches and the holes are smooth and do not touch each other or intersect.
The complex analysis methods are used to solve the problem. First, the
Muskhelishvili’s formulas [5] are used to describe the stresses and the displace-
ments in the plate and the patches through the complex potentials in the plate
and the patches. The singular integral representations of the complex poten-
tials are used then to reformulate the problem as a system of singular integral
equations. These representationswerefirstproposedby Savruk[7]to study the
problems for cracked plates. The uniqueness of the solution of the resulting
system of the singular integral equations can be proved in a manner similar to
[8], [9], [10].
One of the main goals of this paper is to propose an alternative technique
for a numerical solution of the derived system of singular integral equations.
The method of mechanical quadratures applied for the solution of similar sys-
tems in [8], [9], [10] is difficult to implement for a large number of contours due
to decreasing precision. The idea behind the method proposed here is in the
approximation of the unknown functions by trigonometric polynomials. Sub-
stituting these approximations into the system of singular integral equations
reduces this system to the system of linear algebraic equations for the coeffi-
cients of the trigonometric polynomials. Numerical examples show that even
the systems of the relatively small order are sufficient to achieve a good accu-
racy of the results. By considering numerical examples it can be shown that
thismethoddemonstratesanoticeablybetterconvergence,largerindependence
from the symmetry of the construction and, hence, can be applied to a wider
range of practical problems.
2. Boundary conditions
Consider an infinite thin elastic plate S weakened by several holes with the
boundaries L , j = 1,...,n+r. Thin elastic patches S , k = 1,...,n+m,
j k
with the boundaries Γ are used to reinforce the plate S (fig. 1). It is assumed
k
that the patch S , k =1,...,n, coversthe hole L and is attached to the plate
k k
S both along the boundary of the hole L and the boundary of the patch Γ .

We will derive the integral representations of the complex potentials in the

These unknown functions may be chosen in such a manner that some of the
conditions (2.1) - (2.5) are satisfied automatically.
First, consider the infinite plate S with the holes L which is subjected to

Observe that the representations (3.12) can be also used if the patch S

The same representations (3.12) are also valid for the patches S , k = n+

k
Hence, the stressed state of the “plate-patches” system is described by the
complex potentials (3.9), (3.12) which contain unknown functions g′(t), t ∈
L , j = 1,...,n + r; q (t), t ∈ L , j = 1,...,n, and q(t), g′(t), t ∈ Γ ,
j j j k k
k = 1,...,n+m. We will look for these functions in the class of functions
satisfying the Ho¨lder condition on the corresponding curves L and Γ . This
j k
choice guarantees the existence of all the principal and the limit values of the
integrals of the Cauchy type in the formulas (3.9), (3.12).

(2.1)-(2.4) and (3.11). Recall that the condition (2.5) has been used to derive
representations (3.12) and thus is satisfied automatically. Observe also that
the condition (3.11) appears from the way we extend each patch S to the full
k
complex plane (that is, it guarantees that the displacements and the stresses
outside of the patch S are equal to zero).

5. Numerical procedure
In this section we present an alternative technique for solving the system of
singularintegralequations(4.13)-(4.16). Themethodofmechanicalquadratures
presentedto study the problemsforcrackedplatesin [7]andadoptedforplates
with holes reinforced by patches in [8], [9], [10] provides a sufficient accuracy
with a reasonable computational time for the systems of similar type in the
cases when the number of contours L and Γ is small. However, the results
j k
become unsatisfactory both in the sense of accuracy and computational time if
a larger number of contours is considered. Another observed disadvantage of
the method of mechanical quadratures is that the results obtained using this
method tend to deteriorate significantly with the loss of the symmetry in the
construction.
To overcome these disadvantages the following approach is proposed and
showntobe computationallyeffective. First,parametrizeeachcurveL andΓ

The integrals in these functions can be computed numerically by using any
appropriate method.
The equations (5.20), in general, can not be satisfied for all the values of
the parameter θ due to the approximation of the unknown functions by the
truncated Fourier series (5.19). Instead, we assume that the equations (5.20)
are satisfied only in the finite number of points θ = π(2s − 1)/(2N + 1),
s
s = 1,...,2N +1. This transforms (5.20) into the system of linear algebraic
equations with real coefficients of the order 2(2N+1)(4n+2m+r). Thus, the
approximate solution of the system of singular integral equations (4.13)-(4.16)
can be obtained by solving the system of linear algebraic equations.
While the precise investigation of the convergence of the solution of the
resulting system of linear algebraic equations to the solution of the system of
singular integral equations (4.13)-(4.16) is outside of the scope of this paper,
the numerical results obtained by using this method and also comparison with
