Abstract
To establish the life-period of a glass-fibre glider structure within which safe operation can be guaranteed it is necessary either to perform a ground fatugue test or, alternativly, to have the test statistics adequate enough collected as a result of observations of ships having similiar design features.... Those aspects discussed in this paper allow approximate determiniation of the ideal pattern as far as the operational conditions can be predicted for the future on the basis of the tasks for which the particular glider is designed.
