Structures Technology for Future Aerospace Systems
Fatigue is a failure mode in aircraft that emerged in the fifties and sixties as a significant threat to their structural integrity. Since that time, the research community has extensively studied the phenomenon and has developed the technology to describe the propagation of fatigue cracks in a structure. This paper describes an approach that, when followed, will virtually eliminate catastrophic failures from this mechanism.
