A system for evaluating bubble formation potential in a structure includes an environment test chamber and an environmental controller for controlling a plurality of environmental conditions within the environment chamber. The system additionally includes a detector for capturing images of a structure under test and an illumination source for controlling illumination of the structure under test. A user interface is coupled to the environment controller for setting and adjusting environmental conditions within the environment test chamber. The user interface is also coupled to the illumination source for setting and adjusting illumination of the structure and the user interface is coupled to the detector for receiving the captured images and evaluating bubble formation potential in the structure under test based on the captured images.

System and method for evaluating bubble formation potential in a structure

A computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer program product for identifying an interval for performing a maintenance task. The process retrieves scheduled maintenance data and un-scheduled in-service maintenance data for a given apparatus type. The process maps the un-scheduled in-service maintenance data to the scheduled maintenance data for the given apparatus type to form mapped maintenance data. The process performs a statistical analysis on the mapped maintenance data. The process identifies an optimal interval for performing the maintenance task based on a result of the statistical analysis to form a recommended maintenance interval.
