DSTO is still a leading research organisation in the fatigue of aircraft structures, and fatigue investigations undertaken for the RAAF (and at times civil regulators) have supplied valuable information to the aircraft manufacturers, operators and researchers.
This section was headed by H.A.Wills, a leading Aeronautical Engineer with experience in aeronautics in both Australia and England.
The subsequent investigation carried out by ARL at the request of the Department of Civil Aviation (DCA), revealed a classic fatigue failure in a welded joint in the wing spar.
These accidents highlighted the fatigue problem and revealed to the civil aircraft industry in particular, that the predictions made by Wills some years earlier were being proved alarmingly true.
It was the result of his appreciation of the role that civil and military aviation were to play in the development of the Australian continent; and of his ability to win the confidence and collaboration of the civil and military aviation authorities.

Preface On the successful basis of GBMCE 2011 and 2012, 2013 the 3rd International Conference on Green Building, Materials and Civil Engineering (GBMCE) will be held in Taiwan during August 21-23, 2013, The conference aims mainly at promoting the development of Green Building, Materials and Civil Engineering, strengthening the international academic cooperation and communications, and exchanging research ideas.
I think GBMCE 2013 will be the most comprehensive Conference focused on the Building, Materials and Civil Engineering.
We believe the proceedings will provide the readers a broad overview of the latest advances in the field of Building, Materials and Civil Engineering.
