About this document

Advances in Aircraft Fatigue Analysis by Chris Rodopoulos is a document available to read on EtoBox.

The paper reviews advances made in stress analyses of cracked aircraft components, understanding fatigue and fatigue crack growth behavior, and predicting residual strength of aircraft structures with widespread fatigue damage. Finite element analysis is now used to determine stress intensity factors for cracks. Small crack behavior and theory has led to predicting stress-life behavior under aircraft loading spectra. Fatigue crack growth under spectra can be predicted using crack closure concepts. Residual
