Infinite-Life Design
Unlimited safety, elastic stress concentrations, expensive, very limited
applicability
Safe-Life Design
No cracks on predetermined # of cycles, limited # of high stress (strain)
cycles
(pressure vessels, jet engines, landing gears, gun tubes)
Used where regular inspections are difficult
Fail-Safe Design
Cracks present but do not lead to failure before their detection and repair
Failure of component does not cause failure of the structure
Decrease in weight and cost
Sophisticated inspections & Testing
(wings, fuselage, multi-engine airplane engines)
Damage-Tolerant Design
Cracks present but do not lead to failure before their detection and repair
(fracture mechanics and other tools to predicts the crack behaviour)
