Corrosion Fatigue of Aircraft Materials,
Abstract
Environmental effects on the fatigue of aircraft materials have been neglected in the past. Damage behaviour of aircraft structures was analysed by fatigue and fracture mechanics with without paying much attention to the environment. A few years ago, some laboratories of NATO countries started to investigate corrosion fatigue. A proposal was made to the Structures and Materials Panel for new activities in corrosion fatigue with the intension of presenting the state of the art in this field of interdisciplinary R and D of corrosion and fatigue engineers. The SMP approved the presentation of four pilot papers on the corrosion fatigue of high strength aluminum, titanium and steel alloys at the 44th Panel Meeting in April 1977. The four papers are of interest to materials and structural engineers and give detailed information on experimental results from four laboratories together with recommendations of areas for future research.
