A Review of Australian Investigations on Aeronautical Fatigue During the Period April 1983 to March 1985.

Abstract

A summary is presented of the aircraft fatigue research and associated activities which form part of the programmes of the Aeronautical Research Laboratories, the Department of Aviation and the Australian aircraft industry. The major topics discussed include the fatigue of both civil and military aircraft structures, fatigue damage detection, analysis and repair and fatigue life monitoring and assessment. Additional keywords: Fatigue (materials); Composite structures; Airframes; Composite wings; Crack propagation; Airworthiness; Flight testing; reinforced plastics. (Author)
