A large amount of the engineering work for the aircraft structure development is related to fatigue and damage tolerance. In his guest lecture at Graz University of Technology, Carlos Chaves, Principal Structures Engineer at the Brazilian aircraft manufacturer Embraer, will first give a brief overview of the fundamentals of the disciplines of fatigue and fracture mechanics. Lessons learned from the past will help to explain the evolution of philosophies for fatigue evaluation, from safe-life to fail-safe, and then to damage tolerance.
Current fatigue and damage tolerance requirements will also be discussed in short. It can be said that the aviation and mobility industries is experiencing a period of revolution in terms of new technologies.
The presentation concludes with an overview of future challenges in aircraft structure development, such as damage tolerance for composite and hybrid structures, new materials, additive manufacturing, smart structures, and others.
