Abstract
A method for qualifying a gas turbine engine component includes creating a first set of substantially identical gas turbine engine components via a uniform manufacturing procedure, determining a set of as-manufactured parameters of each gas turbine engine component in the first set, and determining a variance model of the first set. The variance model includes a representative parameter profile, which includes a plurality of component parameter profiles. The sum of each of the component parameter profiles is the representative parameter profile. The method also includes determining at least one predicted response models based at least in part on the variance model, identifying as-manufactured parameters of a second engine component, applying the as-manufactured parameters of the second engine component to the at least one predicted response models, thereby generating a predicted response output, and qualifying the second engine component for usage in at least one gas turbine engine corresponding to the at least one predicted response model.
