Turbine Engine Fault Detection and Isolation Program. Volume II. Maintenance Model Development

摘要

Maintenance decision analysis models for evaluation of the TF34 maintenance process, both with and without the Turbine Engine Monitoring System (TEMS), are formulated. These models form the foundation for the U.S. Air Force to establish techniques for determining optimal policy for troubleshooting and maintenance on its aircraft engines using decision analysis methods. Technical background is provided and models presented. Model structure and parameters, as well as input and output, are treated. A preliminary plan for model evaluation is given, including methods for data collection, model evaluation criteria, as well as solution techniques and algorithms for the actual model evaluation. Conclusions are drawn and directions for future activity are suggested. (Author)
