Abstract
Fatigue reliability of structural components and the inspection and re pair cost under non-periodic inspection are formulated. An optimal ins pection plan in terms of small probability of failure is proposed. A n umerical example for crack propagation in fastener holes of airframe c omponents is worked out. It is shown that both significant recoveries of reliability of structural components and great benefit in maintenan ce economy are obtained by choosing the first inspection time properly .
