4 Background Sioux City and Hard Alpha Sioux City accident (1989) highlighted the threat of undetected inherent material anomalies in engine rotors Titanium Hard Alpha Rare events, but not addressed by safe life design practices Engine industry developed an enhanced life management process Requested by Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) following Sioux City accident Developed by industry through AIA Rotor Integrity Sub-Committee (RISC) Probabilistic damage tolerance methods and opportunity inspections Parallel improvement of melt practice and NDE inspections Copyright 2015 Southwest Research Institute Current Trends in Probabilistic Damage Tolerance 4

5 Background: Pensacola and Surface Damage Pensacola accident (1996) highlighted the threat of undetected anomalies induced during manufacturing or maintenance FAA/RISC activity expanded to broaden the application of probabilistic damage tolerance Initial focus on machined holes Parallel effort on robust manufacturing methods 5

6 Development of FAA Advisory Material Specific damage tolerance methods for specific anomaly types have been developed and documented by the FAA in a series of Advisory Circulars AC (2001) titanium hard alpha AC (2009) general guidance for life-limited parts AC (2009) hole features Copyright 2015 Southwest Research Institute Current Trends in Probabilistic Damage Tolerance 6

7 Origins of FAA Grants As RISC and the FAA developed the enhanced life management process, they saw that further research and development (R&D) was needed to address shortfalls in technology and data SwRI (guided by RISC) proposed to the FAA and was awarded a series of R&D grants to address these shortfalls Enhanced predictive tool capability (DARWIN) Supplementary material/anomaly behavior characterization and modeling Goal to provide direct support for implementation and improvement of advisory material such as AC and AC SwRI is program manager U.S. engine companies serve as steering committee, major subcontractors 7

16 Surface and Line Zoning for Attachment Slots RISC and the FAA are currently developing PDTA methods to address manufacturing and maintenance damage at attachment slots Surface damage frequency is generally a function of the surface area Experience has shown that certain regions of the attachment geometry may be more susceptible to damage than others New methods have been developed to define surface and line zones that combine locations with similar risk levels 16

17 New Anomaly Appearance at Shop Visits Inherent material or induced manufacturing anomalies are present when component enters service Induced maintenance anomalies may be introduced on the surface throughout the component lifetime Some attachment slot anomalies are linked to shop visits New probabilistic algorithms have been developed for shop visit anomalies User can define a random damage occurrence time, which may be linked with shop visit inspections (before or after NDE) User defines shop visit anomaly distribution(s) Shop visit anomalies may have nonzero crack formation lives User is responsible for providing crack formation algorithm Framework can be used to address new anomalies from other in-service events (e.g., FOD) 17
