Abstract

This paper presents an overview of the structural aspects of the design and development of a local reinforcement designed to lower the stresses in a region of the F-111C wing pivot fitting which is prone to cracking. The stress analysis, representative specimen testing, thermal analysis and aspects of the full-scale static testing of this design are summarized.
