Book Description
The 31st Conference and the 25th Symposium of the International Committee on Aeronautical Fatigue will be hosted in Rotterdam, The Netherlands, by the National Aerospace Laboratory NLR, under the auspices of the Netherlands Association of Aeronautical Engineers NVvL, the Technical University of Delft and Stork Fokker AESP B.V.
These Proceedings will consist of reviews of aeronautical fatigue activities presented by the national delegates of the 14 member nations of ICAF. It will also contain specialist papers presented by international authors with design, manufacturing, airworthiness regulations, operations and research backgrounds. The papers will be based on the theme “Bridging the gap between theory and operational practice”.
Editorial Reviews
From the Back Cover
This book contains the proceedings of the 25th symposium of the International Committee on Aeronautical Fatigue that was held from 27-29 May 2009 in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. It contains 77 selected papers on a broad range of structural fatigue related topics. They all reflect in some way or another the ICAF 2009 symposium’s theme “Bridging the gap between theory and operational practice”, with particular emphasis on:
- Airworthiness considerations
- Advanced materials and innovative structural concepts
- Full-scale fatigue testing of aircraft and aircraft structural components
- Life extension and management of ageing fleets
- Structural health and structural loads monitoring
- NDI, inspections and maintenance
- Fatigue crack growth and life prediction methods
- Fatigue life enhancement methods and repair solutions
- Environmental effects
- Probabilistic modelling and risk analysis
The book is an excellent read for anyone with an interest in aeronautical fatigue and aircraft structural integrity, from both a scientific and a practical point of view.
