Review of investigations on aeronautical fatigue in the Federal Republic of Germany

Most of the subjects are fatigue test results from specimens and components under constant amplitude, programme and rondom loading. Other reports concern loadings measured in service and their analysis. There are also investigations about the cyclic stress-strain behaviour as well as crack propagation, fracture mechanics and residual strength. A considerable amount of reports on investigations of composite materials, especially of graphite/epoxies and their properties under environmental influen ce, are included.
