A survey of Aeronautical structural research in Australia has spanned over more than 40 years, from the establishment of the C.S.I.R. Division of Aeronautics in 1939. Industry, civil aviation and the armed services have benefited from the expertise of Structures Division in problem solving, as well as from ad-hoc research and, perhaps less immediately, from basic research. Not every avenue has been able to be explored. A major subject of research, structural fatigue, arose from an accident in 1945, and each new development in design and material has brought new problems. Standards of safety and risk have been explored. New technology of fibre composites permits better tailoring of strength and stiffness to requirements: this and the introduction to aircraft of active controls offer benefits and problems for the future.
