Current developments in the field of aircraft fatigue evaluation are reviewed including the description of loads for fatigue evaluation, the damage tolerance concept, concepts for the prediction of fatigue life, fatigue life improvement during production, load transfer in mechanical joints, and the characteristics of the fiber reinforced materials. There is not yet a satisfactory theory to explain the fatigue mechanism. Fatigue testing is the most important tool in defining the life of aircraft structures.
