A finite element model of scarf repaired laminates in tension is built in this paper. The ultimate strengths of the repaired
structures are calculated with progressive damage analysis method. The predicted results agreeing well with the
experimental results which means the model is effective. The failure model of these structures is adhesive failure which
is obtained by analyzing the failure process of these structures. The effects of scarf ratio and scarf depth on the ultimate
strength are analyzed which indicates that the ultimate strength can be improved by both decreasing scarf ratio and
decreasing scarf depth .The results of this study can provide some references for the design of scarf repaired composite
laminates.
