Additional information
A novel method to estimate the residual fatigue life of an aircraft component is presented in this paper. The proposed method enables aircraft operators to accurately and timely changeover periods, improve aircraft safety and consequently reduce catastrophic failures. A successful demonstration was carried out on a Tornado aircraft rib by the Italian Air Force. The successful outcome of this research led to a new project funded by DSTL ‘Fatigue life estimation using a nonlinear wave modulation spectroscopy method’ (MAST Project CDE 23726-£49,842).
