Life and Damage Monitoring-Using NDI Data Interpretation for Corrosion Damage and Remaining Life Assessments

Abstract

The progress achieved in the understanding and modelling of fatigue and fracture in aircraft structures has led to the development of Damage Tolerance as the framework for ensuring continued airworthiness. Success of Damage Tolerance and Fail-Safe concepts combined with general economic conditions led to the current situation where an increasing number of aircraft are operated beyond their original design goal.
