Reliability Based Aircraft Maintenance Optimization and Applications

By He Ren, Yong Chen, Xi Chen

Against a backdrop of continuing increase in aviation passenger traffic, the need for comfort, safety, and improved fuel performance, Reliability Based Aircraft Maintenance Optimization and Applications provides a practical resource for aircraft manufacturers and operators to achieve greater operational efficiency. Key Features, Presents the first application of composite structure maintenance engineering analysis integrated with SHM, Presents a new diagnostic tool using an extension of Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) to areas of composite structures, to systematically synthesize a diversity of damage modes and damage causes at the macroscopic level, Presents a cutting-edge probabilistic simulation procedure which describes the structure strength variation in a life cycle, in order to optimize the inspection intervals in relation to two criteria maintaining a high-structural reliability and minimizing the maintenance costs, Reliability Based Aircraft Maintenance Optimization and Applications is the third title in the Shanghai Jiao Tong University Press Aerospace Series, covering the latest advances in research and development in aerospace. Its scope includes theoretical studies, design methods, and real-world implementations and applications, but focuses on engineering. Titles within the series include: Commercial Aircraft Hydraulic Systems, Reliability Analysis of Dynamic Systems: Efficient Probabilistic Methods and Aerospace Applications, Unsteady Flow and Aeroelasticity in Turbomachinery (forthcoming), Computational Intelligence in Aerospace Design (forthcoming), Wake Vortex Control (forthcoming), Aeroacoustics: Fundamentals and Applications in Aeropropulsion Systems (forthcoming) Book jacket.
