Abstract
A qualification system for gas turbine engine components includes a computer system configured to receive a set of measured parameters for each gas turbine engine component in a plurality of substantially identical gas turbine engine components, and determine a variation model based on the set of measured parameters. The computer system includes at least one simulated engine model configured to determine a predicted operation of each gas turbine engine component in the plurality of substantially identical gas turbine engine components, a correlation system configured to correlate variations in the set of parameters for each of the gas turbine engine components with a set of the predicted operations of each gas turbine engine, thereby generating a predictive model based on the variations. The computer system also includes a qualification module configured to generate a qualification formula based on the predictive model. The qualification formula is configured to receive a set of measured parameters of an as-manufactured gas turbine engine component and determine when the as manufactured gas turbine engine component is qualified for inclusion in at least one engine.
