Introduction
PHM have been applied in various industries such as Automotive, industrial, avionics and aftermarket. In avionics, PHM helps in
- predicting the sensor failures
- health of moving parts such as landing gears, slats & flaps, ailerons, turbine shafts, turbine blades
- degradation of contactors
- battery health
- engine malfunction
- abnormal system behavior
- impact on aircraft safety
- prognoses the failure in critical part
It helps design team by providing the actual failure conditions and data for critical parameters to simulate the failure and its effects on connected systems. It also help maintenance team in predicting the upcoming part for maintenance and in-turn helps inventory management for OEMs and MROs.
