Description:
An integrated research program is proposed that seeks to improve the technology of designing against fatigue and fracture and to develop a computerized capability for assessing the adequacy of a given design. Both fatigue life prediction and damage tolerance considerations are incorporated. The research for each of these considerations is organized to account for material behavior, the effect of structural configurations, the cumulative effects of the operating loadings, and the effects of temperature and corrosion.
