The experimental program was focused on destructive evaluation of full-scale repaired panels under static tension loading conditions using speckle test full-field image recording technology. The speckle test results were used to validate a finite element analytical model. Based on the evaluation performed in this study, the finite element model and the speckle imaging technology provide major enhancements in understanding the performance of the scarf repairs.
