The present contribution considers the patch repair of a damaged laminate where the damaged laminate material has been removed by cutting or drilling a hole. The respective analytical assessment of such a repair configuration can be performed by the complex potential method. In order to determine the optimal repair design the present work also addresses the well‐approved techniques of mathematical structural optimisation.
