Chapter 7
Inspection Interval Optimization for Aircraft Composite Structures Considering Dent Damage
Abstract
This chapter presents a probabilistic simulation procedure to describe the structural strength variation in a life cycle in order to optimize the inspection intervals. Also a composite panel made of GFRP from in-service aircraft was selected to demonstrate the effectiveness of the methodology.
