Methods of analysis of structural safety are proposed which permit the quantitative evaluation of rational safety factors to be used in the design of airframes for a predetermined risk considered “acceptable” on the basis of expected service life of the aircraft or fleet of aircraft. They also provide a criterion of “fatigue sensitivity” of a design based on certain assumptions concerning load-factors and material performance. The concept of structural safety is analyzed on the basis of its relation to the...
