- This work was funded through the multi-£M TSB “Airstream” in collaboration with Airbus, Cytec and Alcoa. Aerospace structures experience complex thermal cyclic loading during service. The results showed that the application of GLARE bonded crack retarders (BCRs) on aerospace-grade aluminium alloy has resulted in considerable fatigue life improvement even when subjected to complex in-service thermal cyclic loadings. The outcomes helped the industrial partner to further develop the BCRs concept by incorporating in the initial design stage, manufacturing mock-up aircraft panels for testing and evaluation.
