The complex problem of designing an aircraft structure in a manner to minimize its vulnerability to the impact damage of projectiles has always been a major concern of aircraft builders. This report gives an excellent description of the vulnerability assessment of aircraft structures to projectile threats, including high explosive munitions. It defines the major elements of a structural vulnerability assessment, including development of the damage model, the strength model, and parameter sensitivity effects. Considerable experimental verification is included.
