  • METHOD OF FATIGUE TESTING A COMPLEX STRUCTURE
    Publication number: 20190128770
    Abstract: Systems and methods for testing and validating fatigue life of a complex structure includes determining flight loads acting on the complex structure, identifying fatigue sensitive points in the complex structure in response to the flight loads acting on the complex structure, grouping the fatigue sensitive points into a plurality of families, selecting at least one representative fatigue sensitive point from each family, creating at least one detail specimen that replicates the representative fatigue sensitive point from each family, fatigue testing the detail specimens, and comparing results determined in response to fatigue testing the detail specimens to the determined flight loads.
