A composite laminate patch for reworking an inconsistent area in a structure has inner and outer control regions possessing differing interlaminar fracture toughnesses for controlling the advance of a disbond in the patch. One or more separation zones in the patch between the control regions aids in diffusing the fracture energy of the disbond as the disband advances from the inner region to the outer region.

1. A composite patch for reworking an inconsistent area in a composite aircraft, comprising: a multi-ply laminate patch comprising: a first control region for controlling an advance of a disbond, wherein the first control region is circularly shaped,a second control region and a third control region
1. A composite patch for reworking an inconsistent area in a composite aircraft, comprising: a multi-ply laminate patch comprising: a first control region for controlling an advance of a disbond, wherein the first control region is circularly shaped,a second control region and a third control region configured to control the advance of the disbond, the second and third control regions being ring-shaped and concentrically arranged around the first control region,a first separation zone contiguous to and between the first control region and the second control region configured to diffuse fracture energy of the advance of the disbond,a second separation zone, contiguous to and between the second and third control region, configured to diffuse fracture energy of the advance of the disbond,a third separation zone, contiguous to and surrounding the third control region, configured to diffuse fracture energy of the advance of the disbond,wherein the second and the third separation zones have a second and a third interlaminar fracture toughness, respectively, of at least approximately 25% greater than a first interlaminar fracture toughness of the first control region, and,wherein the second interlaminar fracture toughness of the second control region is greater than that of the first control region, and the third interlaminar fracture toughness of the third control region is greater than the second interlaminar fracture toughness of the second control region; anda layer of adhesive for bonding the multi-ply laminate patch to the composite aircraft, wherein the layer of adhesive has substantially constant characteristics over substantially an entire area of the layer of adhesive. 2. The composite patch of claim 1, wherein each control region is configured to provide a means of allowing nondestructive visual inspection of a condition of the composite patch. 3. The composite patch of claim 1, wherein each control region is configured to provide a means of allowing nondestructive visual inspection of a condition of a bond joint between the composite patch and the inconsistent area in the composite aircraft. 4. The composite patch of claim 1, wherein the composite patch comprises a layup comprising a plurality of plies. 5. The composite patch of claim 4, further comprising a ply, within in the plurality of plies, comprising a gap at the second control region. 6. The composite patch of claim 4, further comprising a ply, within in the plurality of plies, comprising a gap at the third control region. 7. The composite patch of claim 4, further comprising a ply, within in the plurality of plies, comprising a fiber reinforcement. 8. The composite patch of claim 1, further comprising a first fiber reinforcement in the first control region being at a different orientation from a second fiber reinforcement in the second control region. 9. The composite patch of claim 1, further comprising a first fiber reinforcement in the first control region being at a different orientation from a third fiber reinforcement in the third control region. 10. The composite patch of claim 1, wherein the first, second, and third control regions are each tailored to compliment a global adhesive stress in the bond joint. 11. A composite patch for reworking an inconsistent area in a composite aircraft, comprising: a multi-ply laminate patch comprising: a first control region for controlling an advance of a disbond, wherein the first control region is circularly shaped,a second control region and a third control region configured to control the advance of the disbond, the second and third control regions being ring-shaped and concentrically arranged around the first control region,a first separation zone contiguous to and between the first control region and the second control region configured to diffuse fracture energy of the advance of the disbond,a second separation zone, contiguous to and between the second and third control region, configured to diffuse fracture energy of the advance of the disbond,a third separation zone, contiguous to and surrounding the third control region, configured to diffuse fracture energy of the advance of the disbond,wherein the second and the third separation zones have a second and a third interlaminar fracture toughness, respectively, of at least approximately 25% greater than a first interlaminar fracture toughness of the first control region, and,wherein the second interlaminar fracture toughness of the second control region is greater than that of the first control region, and the third interlaminar fracture toughness of the third control region is greater than the second interlaminar fracture toughness of the second control region; anda layer of adhesive for bonding the multi-ply laminate patch to the composite aircraft, the layer of adhesive being tailored to possess differing characteristics across an area of the layer of adhesive.
