Damage Tolerance Design:


Damage tolerance design assumes that a flaw or damage always exist in a new
structure. The structure must succesfully contain the growth of the initial assumed
damage for a specific period of service and must maintain a minimum level of
residual static strength both during and at the end of this period.
