✦ Synopsis

Failures of different aircraft components are revealed and examined generally by the use of non-destructive examination methods. In further explanation and interpretation of failures fractographic and metallographic methods are indispensable. The paper deals with a crack on aircraft wheel rim. The wheel was made from 2014-T6 aluminium alloy. The crack was revealed during regular control by the maintenance unit for non-destructive examination of the Slovenian air carrier Adria Airways. The crack on the rim investigated was a typical fatigue crack. It was branched, with a size lower than the critical size for fast fracture.

Some results of mathematical simulations of bending vibrations encountered in a cracked aircraft wing under external harmonic excitation are presented. It is shown that due to the in#uence of the elastic non-linearity of typical cracks, superharmonic vibration regimes appear in the system response.
