Public award description
AIRCRAFT STRUCTURAL HEALTH MONITORING SYSTEMS, CURRENTLY UNDER DEVELOPMENT, CAN DETECT AN ACOUSTIC EMISSION (AE) SUCH AS AN IMPACT OR STRUCTURAL FRACTURE OR TEAR THAT CAN POTENTIALLY DAMAGE WING OR FUSELAGE STRUCTURE, BUT NOT THE LOCATION AND NATURE OF THE EVENT GENERATING THE AE. IF AN EVENT IS RECORDED, THE STRUCTURE MUST BE SCANNED WITH A NONDESTRUCTIVE EVALUATION (NDE) TECHNOLOGY TO PINPOINT THE DAMAGE LOCATION AND NATURE AFTER THE AIRCRAFT IS BACK IN THE HANGER. RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN AE RESPONSE DETERMINATION TECHNOLOGY HAVE SHOWN POTENTIAL FOR REAL TIME DETERMINATION OF THE LOCATION AND NATURE OF THE EVENT RESULTING IN AN ACOUSTIC EMISSION. THIS COULD ENABLE REAL TIME IN-FLIGHT DECISIONS ABOUT THE CONTINUED AIRWORTHINESS OF THE AIRCRAFT AND WOULD BE A SIGNIFICANT ADVANCE IN STRUCTURAL HEALTH MONITORING.
