Abstract The paper reviews the current state-of-the art of modern computational tools which can be adopted to support Full-Scale Fatigue Tests (FSFTs) of airframes. A suite of validated and verified simulation tools could potentially deliver significant time and cost savings during the design, certification, and operation phases of both civilian and military aircraft. The review is largely derived from research articles published in international journals and conference proceedings over the past 10 years. An emphasis is placed on computer-based multiscale fatigue damage modelling techniques, probabilistic approaches, and experimental methods, which have emerged over the past decade for both metallic and composite structures. Finally, several recommendations are made on the further development of computational simulation tools for the purpose of augmenting physical fatigue testing of airframes.
