Structural verification testing of composite aircraf... - Transport ...

Preface
The thesis work stands for partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of
Master of Science. The work for a thesis is a process where the information and skills
learned during years of studying are applied. In my case, I want to thank professor Saarela
and researcher Brander making the process as a whole possible.
A good work is always preceded by constructive instructions and criticism. I want to
express my gratitude to K. Kantola, S. Meriläinen, and M. Wallin for their participation.
The instructions through your experience in structural testing have been an irreplaceable
aid.
My parents Markku and Leena have stood by my side the entire journey –I am grateful
for your support. You have given me a basis, a strong foundation, from which I can take
new steps and make my way.
