## Abatraet-Design requirements have been developed to insure structural safety for current and future USAF aircraft. New structure is assumed to be flawed. Materials, stress levels and structural arrangements are chosen so as to prevent damage from growing to catastrophic size prior to detection.

A fracture mechanics approach has been used to predict the approximate extent of cracking in a prestressed concrete pressure vessel subject to overpressure. The stress intensity factor has been calculated by means of the crack closure work concept and finite element stress analysis for a range of cr
A theoretical method was developed for calculating the stress intensity factor (K) for semielliptical surface cracks in shafts subjected to a constant moment load. A number of tests using 2and 3-dimensional photoelasticity showed good agreement with the theoretical model. The calculated K was then u
Ah&r&--Ultrasonic fatigue experiments are not carried out in load control but in displacement control. In addition, the thickness of the specimen center in ultrasonic fatigue must be thinner to increase the stress concentration. This means that it is not possible to apply the usual stress intensity
