Fatigue and Damage To Clearance in Aircraft Structures
This workshop introduces participants to fatigue and damage-tolerance principles essential for the certification, life-cycle management, and sustainment of modern aircraft structures. Attendees will learn how fatigue crack initiation, crack-growth modeling, and inspection planning ensure long-term structural safety for both metallic and composite airframes. The course covers safe-life, fail-safe, and damage-tolerance approaches, along with regulatory expectations […]
Aircraft Loading Generation and Exceedance Curves
This workshop provides a comprehensive introduction to the development and application of exceedance curves for aircraft structural analysis and certification. Exceedance curves describe the frequency and magnitude of loads encountered during flight and are foundational to sizing, fatigue evaluation, mission spectrum development, and damage-tolerance assessments. Participants will explore how flight data, aerodynamic modeling, and operational […]
Reliability and Probabilistic Analysis for Engineers
This workshop introduces engineers to the fundamentals and practical applications of probabilistic methods used in reliability assessment and risk-informed engineering decision-making. Participants will learn to quantify uncertainty in material properties, geometry, and loading, and apply statistical modeling and simulation techniques–such as Monte Carlo and Latin Hypercube sampling–to support safer and more robust designs. Drawing on […]
