Multiple-site Damage (MSD) is a dangerous scenario for aircraft structures due to the interaction of adjacent cracks in one structural element. Despite their excellent fatigue crack growth resistance, Fibre Metal Laminates (FMLs) may also encounter this damage scenario. However, only few studies on fatigue crack growth in presence of MSD in FMLs has been reported. An overview of the relevant methods for predicting the crack propagation properties of MSD in FMLs is given and discussed in this paper. The fatigue crack growth of MSD in FMLs was experimentally studied and is reported in this paper. A new analytical methodology, based on the superposition principle and displacement compatibility method, is proposed.
