This report aimed to experimentally verify analytical models that predict the residual strength of representative aircraft structures, such as wide panels, that are subjected to Multiple Site Damage (MSD). As today's transport aircraft become older, the possibility exists for predetermined analysis to be invalidated by the onset of MSD. The MSD can be caused by cyclic leading on the fuselage structure over its life, and the resulting weakening in the structure must be considered as a potential safety risk during repairs and inspections.
