Abstract:
The fatigue test results, for elements and sections from the structures of aircraft, obtained by a number of experimenters are analysed in terms of the scatter present in the lives to fatigue failure. Data for structures made of any light alloy material and tested under any form of loading have been included in an attempt to increase the definition of any trends noted in the scatter, which was calculated using a log-normal distribution of fatigue lives as a basis. * Replaces RAE Technical Report 69155 - ARC 31639
