Chapter 4.1, Problem 11E
Aircraft Structural Integrity Among the important factors in determining the structural integrity of an aircraft is its age. Advancing age makes planes more likely to crack. The graph of the function f, shown in the accompanying figure, is referred to as a “bathtub curve” in the airline industry. It gives the fleet damage rate (damage due to corrosion, accident, and metal fatigue) of a typical fleet of commercial aircraft as a function of the number of years of service.

Determine the interval where f is decreasing. This corresponds to the time period when the fleet damage rate is dropping as problems arc found and corrected during the initial “shakedown” period.
- b. Determine the interval where f is constant. After the initial shakedown period, planes have few structural problems, and this is reflected by the fact that the function is constant on this interval.
- c. Determine the interval where f is increasing. Beyond the time period mentioned in part (b), the function is increasing—reflecting an increase in structural defects due mainly to metal fatigue.
