Consider the following statements about fatigue loading on a transport:

1. The pressurisation cycle occurs once per flight.

2. The ground-air-ground cycle reverses the wing bending once per flight.

3. A single ultimate load application dominates the fatigue damage.

Which of the statements given above is or are correct?

  • A.1 and 3 only
  • B.2 and 3 only
  • C.1, 2 and 3
  • D.1 and 2 only

Answer: D

The first two are correct and are the two largest contributors to the spectrum. The third confuses the two disciplines: fatigue is driven by the accumulation of many cycles, not by one extreme event, which is what static strength analysis addresses.
