Damage Tolerance: Assessment Handbook. Volume 2: Airframe Damage Tolerance Evaluation

Abstract

This Damage Tolerance Assessment Handbook consists of two volumes: Volume 1 introduces the damage tolerance concept with a historical perspective followed by the fundamentals of fracture mechanics and fatigue crack propagation. Various fracture criteria and crack growth rules are studied. Volume 2 treats exclusively the subject of damage tolerance evaluation of airframes. Damage tolerance, Fracture mechanics, Crack initiation, Fracture toughness, Stress intensity factor, Residual strength, Crack propagation, Fatigue, Inspection.
