Industry Partners: Northwest Airlines, Delta Airlines, Boeing, Honeywell, Cessna
Objectives:
-
To develop and transfer a signal processing software tool box for use by the original equipment manufacter (OEM) in the inspection of aviation applications
-
To extend wheel inspection software tools to low frequency Eddy Current (EC) and incorporate into betasite tests at airlines and with the commercial vendor
Approach:
- EC applications
identified in cooperation with industry partners
- Low frequency wheel inspection for subsurface/interior defect detection
- Complicated feature inspection including edge effects (holes, slots, curvics, etc.)
- Taylor signal classification
techniques to particular applications and incorporate into PC-based
software
- Transition software
to industry partners for betasite test
- Incorporate final product into existing EC inspection systems
Introduction of PC-based instrumentution and generation of digital data offers an opportunity to extract maximum information from signal responses and improve POD of EC.
