Wanhill, R.J.H. (author)This paper reviews currently available information on corrosion and fatigue in aircraft as a background to discussing the assessment of corrosion and fatigue damage. The main topics are: - aircraft operating environments and loads - corrosion - fatigue - corrosion and fatigue - corrosion and fatigue damage assessment. Aircraft structures are...report 1995

Wanhill, R.J.H. (author)2024-T3, 2048-T851, 7075-T6 and 7475-T761 aluminium alloy sheets were compared for fatigue crack propagation resistance under manoeuvre spectrum and constant amplitude loading. For manoeuvre spectrum loading 7475-T761 was superior overall, and this superiority is most probably due to superior toughness of this alloy. In more detail, 2024-T3 was...report 1978

Wanhill, R.J.H. (author)Plight simulation fatigue crack propagation tests with gust spectrum loading were carried out on 2024-T3/carbon-epoxy, 7475-T761/carbon-epoxy and Ti-6Al-4V/carbon-epoxy laminates with nominal weight savings of 30% as compared to equivalent 2024-T3 panels. The performance of the 2024-T3/ carbon-epoxy laminates was much superior to those of the...report 1977
