Extract

The problems associated with the fatigue life of aeroplane structures have been so thoroughly discussed by experts of international repute that it is with some trepidation that the present speaker ventures into this difficult and controversial field. However, the need for more experimental fatigue data on actual structural components (as distinct from idealised test specimens) is undeniable; further, it is hoped that the present paper may stimulate discussion. Opinions expressed in this paper are the author's personal views, and do not necessarily reflect the policy of the Ministry of Supply.

A comprehensive bibliography on this subject has been given recently by Lundberg in the 18th Wright Brothers’ Lecture.
