Description
Assess the technology for compliant structures and create a basis for understanding and evaluating their behavior and reliability. The study addressed four major areas:
(1) define criteria for load estimation,
(2) investigate the dynamic response of compliant structures,
(3) investigate the behavior of individual structural components for developing inspection techniques, and
(4) develop procedures for estimating structural reliability.
