| Abstract | The report presents data on (1) residual strength of aircraft panels containing Multiple-Site Damage (MSD) in lap splices, and (2) fatigue strength of panels subjected to cyclic pressure loading. The testing was conducted using the dedicated Aging Aircraft Test Facility previously built in the Foster-Miller laboratory. A previous report describes the work in the first phase involving the design and operation of the facility and the test data generated on residual strength of panels with longitudinal midday skin cracks. |
