DSTO International Conference on Health and Usage Monitoring February 19-20, 2001

Abstract

The concept of On-Condition Maintenance implies the need for Condition Monitoring to close the loop. Condition monitoring may be implemented at many levels requiring various degree of complication. As relatively fragile machines with catastrophic outcomes possible for many failure types, aircraft have always used some degree on monitoring. Recently, engines, mechanical systems and airframes on both fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters are being fitted with permanent monitoring systems. These systems are also becoming more integrated to the extent that some are now called "Health and Usage Monitoring Systems" or HUMS. Following a successful conference in February 1999, DSTO have again sponsored an International Conference on Conference on Health and Usage Monitoring in conjunction with the Australian International Airshow in February, 2001.
