The present conference discusses structural reliability of fail-safe helicopter components, rotating load usage monitoring from fixed system information, the delamination behavior of graphite-epoxy laminates in tension and torsion, a two-point exponential approximation method for airframe optimization, a design and analysis methodology for composite bonded joints, low-vibration airframes, a damage tolerance processor for structural integrity management, and the effects of composite materials on the wing design of the V-22. Also discussed are advanced kevlar sandwich structures for application to rotorcraft airframes, the evolution of permanent composite repair designs, novel approaches to complex-geometry composite structures, and NASA-Langley techniques for helicopter airframe vibration reduction.
