Abstract
Fatigue in aircraft structures is a problem for which quantitative and generally accepted solutions are not available as yet. Even in recent years significant fatigue failures in aircraft structures have occurred. Some of these failures can be attributed to either poor design or underestimating of the fatigue environment. Unfortunately such statements are of little help since there are a confusingly large number of aspects involved. For a designer considering fatigue problems, experience, qualitative understanding and a good intuition are therefore essential.
