This paper provides a summary of current practice on prediction crack growth damage accumulation with specific applications to current USAF policies on Safety and Durability. Analytical procedures are required to determine safe crack growth-life intervals and to estimate economic limits on crack growth. The life prediction methodology is examined to illustrate the major effects of the structural parameters, material parameters and loading. Examples are cited to give indication of confidence in making life predictions.
