Normal flight cycles can cause crack initiation and progression in aircraft skins.

The presence of widespread fatigue damage and inter-layer corrosion led to massive crack progression through the fuselage of the Aloha Flight 243 aircraft.

The stress intensity factor uses geometric and load distribution properties to determine stress levels and predict crack growth.

Structural fatigue is caused by repeated loadings. Excessive fatigue can lead to crack growth or failure.

Forces imposed on systems can cause failures in many different ways.
