An apparatus and method for predicting distress on a physical component. The method can include obtaining distress data. The distress data can be used to determine a distress rank. The distress rank can be compared to a distress output provided by a kernel that use parameters related to the physical component. The comparison can result in a prediction model for the physical component.

Model for predicting distress on a component

Provided is an engine health management system and method for determining health of an engine of an aircraft, that includes a data source interface which transmits data from internal and external data sources, a control module that includes a processor and a memory and receives data via the data source interface, creates evaluation methods for evaluating the data received to determine suitable data and storing the suitable data within the memory, and creates a controlled historical airport information repository to process historical data via the processor and generate airport information reports based on the historical data. The system also includes a central computing system communicatively coupled with the control module and the data source interface, which performs data enhancement techniques including linking environmental counts and accumulations with engine data.

Global environmental data and application methods for understanding engine health and maintenance

A system and method including a processor coupled to the non-volatile memory and a non-transitory medium connected to the processor wherein the processor is configured to select one of a flight path between two points or a point of departure and frequency of departure in the flight path from the point for an aircraft, wherein the flight path has at least two phases and a flight along the flight path or a departure constitutes one cycle.

System and method of evaluating the effect of dust on aircraft engines

A web-based system standardizes data from a plurality of different programs to facilitate design review comparisons in a cost-effective and reliable manner. The system includes a client system including a browser, a data storage device for storing information, and a server system coupled to the client system and the database. The server system is configured to store data in the data storage device in a standardized format, generate characteristics unique to the data input using pre-determined calculations, compare the characteristics to pre-determined target values, quantify shifts of the characteristics from respective target values, and generate standardized graphical representations of the data using based on the generated characteristics.

System and methods for standardizing data for design review comparisons

A wear shim assembly is provided which includes a substantially U-shaped wear shim for protecting selected wear surfaces on the engine casing of a gas turbine engine. The wear shim advantageously simultaneously protects multiple surfaces of the engine casing, namely, a radial seating surface and an axial seating surface of the engine casing, from undesired differential thermal expansion wear and vibrational wear.
