Fatigue Damage Prognosis in FRP Composites by Combining Multi-Scale Degradation Fault Modes in an Uncertainty Bayesian Framework
In this work, a framework for the estimation of the fatigue damage propagation in CFRP composites is proposed. Macro-scale phenomena such as stiffness and strength degradation... -
Simulation-based Design and Validation of Automated Contingency Management for Propulsion Systems
This paper introduces a novel Prognostics-enhanced Automated Contingency Management (or ACM+P) paradigm based on both current health state (diagnosis) and future health state... -
An Energy-Based Prognostic Framework to Predict Fatigue Damage Evolution in Composites
In this work, a prognostics framework to predict the evolution of damage in fiber-reinforced composites materials under fatigue loads is proposed. The assessment of internal... -
Evaluating the Impact of Unrestricted Operation of Unmanned Aircraft Systems in the National Airspace System
Unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) can be used for scientific, emergency management, and defense missions, among others. The existing federal air regulations, procedures, and... -
Probabilistic Delamination Diagnosis of Composite Materials Using a Novel Bayesian Imaging Method
In this paper, a probabilistic delamination location and size detection framework is proposed. The delamination probability image using Lamb wave-based damage detection is...
