The primary version of the journal is the online one.Fatigue of Aircraft Structures aims to advance knowledge and promote high-quality research in the field of aeronautical fatigue and structural integrity. The journal’s goals are to:Provide a platform for the dissemination of original research and innovative solutions in aircraft structures and materials.Facilitate the exchange of scientific knowledge between domestic and international researchers.Support the development of practical methods for fatigue life prediction, structural health monitoring, and damage-tolerant design.Encourage interdisciplinary approaches and the application of advanced materials and structural concepts in aerospace engineering.The journal focuses on problems related to the fatigue and structural integrity of aircraft. Preferred topics include:Full-scale fatigue testing of aircraft and aircraft structural componentsFatigue of materials and structuresAdvanced materials and innovative structural conceptsDamage-tolerant design of aircraft structureLife extension and management of ageing fleetsStructural health monitoring and loadsFatigue crack growth and life prediction methodsNon-destructive testing (NDT) inspectionsAirworthiness considerationsWhy Subscribe and ReadThe journal provides up-to-date information on recent research in aircraft structural fatigue. It presents studies conducted by researchers both domestically and internationally, offering insights into cutting-edge methods and practices.Why SubmitOpportunity to present your research to a specialized international audienceAnnual publication (each volume is issued in the following calendar year)No publication chargesJournal financed under the Scientific Journal Development ProgramProject description:The aim of the project is to improve the quality of publishing and editorial practices and the visibility of the journal "Fatigue of Aircraft Structures" on the Internet. The area of development of publishing and editorial practices includes verification of all articles with an anti-plagiarism system, shortening the publication time of articles through publication "ahead of print", language correction with text adjustment, dissemination of information about the journal by identifying new groups of readers and authors in Poland and abroad, promoting the yearbook through call for papers activities and preparing a leaflet project and making it available during industry events. The above activities affect the quality of published w
