Physics-Based Lifespan Modeling
First Claim
1. A method for lifespan modeling for a turbine engine component, the method comprising:
- determining a design-phase model of the lifespan of the turbine engine component;
fusing the design-phase model with sensor data collected during operation of the turbine engine component to produce an updated model of the lifespan of the turbine engine component; and
fusing the updated model with data collected during an inspection of the turbine engine component to produce an overall model of the lifespan of the turbine engine component.
