Abstract This chapter briefly summarises some of the life enhancement and repair techniques available to locally increase the fatigue lives of metallic airframe structures. The chapter concentrates on a broad review of those methods as applied to aluminium alloy aircraft structures, for which most of the techniques have been developed. Although aimed at aluminium alloys, most of these methods are equally applicable to the other metallic airframe structural materials, i.e. steels and titanium alloys. To round out the descriptions of each of the methods, the pros and cons are also briefly discussed based on the experience of the authors in maintaining the structural integrity of several aircraft types.
