Folks,
I have just had a look at the first few paragraphs of the Skyranch book, the samples on their home page.
The subject was fatigue, and the first few paragraphs make me wonder about the rest of the book. In my opinion, the references to the (some) Comet 1 and the Aloha B737 accidents as being simple low cycle fatigue are over simplification to the point of being misleading.
I do hope this book, when it gets to actual piston engines, is more accurate.
Tootle pip!!
PS: I speak as one who has read every volume of the Inspectors Report into the Comet 1, the NTSB engineering analysis of the "belt line" failure in the Aloha 737, and quite a few more accidents and incidents where fatigue was one factor in an accident sequence.
