SPHM Capabilities

Air Vehicle SPHM Capability

  • Recording of ‘raw’ PHM data
  • Structural Events (Overloads)
  • Structural Usage Indices

– Aircraft Parameters – Control surface usage – Door usage – Landing data

  • Corrosion Environment Sensing

OBPHM SPHM Planned Capability

  • Individual Aircraft Tracking

– Fatigue life consumption at selected critical locations. – Remaining life estimate for maintenance and operational planning – Corrosion prediction & tracking models

  • Fleet management, lead aircraft,

identification of damaging manoeuvres.

  • Usage compared to design spectra
  • Flight event replay
  • Loads/Environment Spectra Survey

(L/ESS) - PHM related data

  • Data mining

– maintenance, repair, manufacturing history, usage indices

Strain Sensors

  • JSF philosophy – strain sensors are for model development, verification

and refinement

– All Strain Sensors are in baseline design and would require an engineering change to remove them. Full Bending and Shear Bridges.

  • One side of aircraft instrumented

– Other side validated with loads aircraft instrumentation

  • Can be in difficult to access locations

– Primary and Backup gages – Will not be maintained – operate until they expire

  • All aircraft will be tracked – primary means is parametric equations and

dynamic models

Corrosion Sensors

  • Replace scheduled inspections with “on condition”

inspections

  • Sensors in 2 locations on SDD aircraft

– Demonstrate reliability and refine models – Growth capability exists as needs emerge – Difficult access, high value locations chosen

  • Sentinel Resistance sensors

– Resistance changes as pre-calibrated strips on sensor begin to corrode – Tied into aircraft bus to automatically record data at start and end of flight

inspection reveals corrosion

– Corrosion repaired – Replacement sensor installed – Aged or new?

  • Need to understand quality of repair against original coatings.
