It contains summarized results of investigations in the field of gained by industry and research organization. Most of the subjects are fatigue test specimens and components under constant amplitude, program and random loading. Other reports concern 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 influence, are included.enBauteilBetriebslastensimulationBruchmechanikcomposite materialcrack propagationdamage toleranceenvironmentFaserverbundwerkstofffatigue life predictionfatigue strength testflight-by-flight testfracture mechanicfull-scale testGanzzellenversuchjointmaterialmaterial fatiguemetalMetalloperational load simulationrandom loadingresidual strengthRestfestigkeitRißfortschrittSchadenstoleranzSchwingfestigkeitsversuchstructural componentUmweltweldWerkstoffWerkstoffermüdungzufallsartige Beanspruchungstructural componentdamage tolerant structure620Review of investigations on aeronautical fatigue in the Federal Republic of Germanyconference proceeding
