Feasibility Study for Life Enhancement of Military Aircraft Through Re-Squeezing Joints with Geriatric Aircraft

Abstract

This report results from a contract tasking RPGM Engineering Consultancy, b.v. as follows: The contractor will investigate the possibility of using a promising technique for extending the fatigue life of riveted joints which will help prevent the Air Force fleet from expensive overhauls. The schedule of supplies and services is as listed and detailed in his proposal to EOARD dated 23 Mar 98.
