Structural Integrity of Aging Airplanes

The emergence of civil aviation as a means of mass transportation is primarily due to the large­ scale construction of jet airplanes in the past 30 years or so. A large number of these jet airplanes is currently operating at or beyond their designed fatigue lives. Thus, the structural integrity of t...
