The objective of the report is to summarize current efforts pertaining to probabilistic analysis of composite structures, describe the Northrop Grumman Commercial Aircraft Division (NGCAD) composite probabilistic analysis methodology, show an example application using the NGCAD approach, and list the type and frequency of typical operations damage to composite components. The following sections of the report contain a review of three unique industry composite structural probabilistic design methods, an overview and example application (Lear Fan 2100 wing) of the NGCAD methodology, and a summary of maintenance information (operational damage) obtained from visits to commercial airline and military composite repair facilities.
