Abstract
The application of the damage tolerance design concept together with the continuously improved modelling of light weight structures and the use of updated non-destructive and slightly invasive testing techniques contribute to the high safety standard of aeroplanes. The objective of the applied research and development of the Fraunhofer Institute for Non-Destructive Testing IZFP is the improvement of established testing techniques and the development of new approaches and systems as well as the development of quality and safety assurance concepts based on NDT.
