Identification of Life Cycle Cost Reductions in Structures With Self-Diagnostic Devices
Abstract
Life cycle cost (LCC) has become an essential parameter not just for accountants but also in engineering. it is not only the cost for product development or manufacturing which are the significant portions in aerospace applications but also those for maintenance, repair and maybe even disposal. A way to reduce this LCC portion is automation, where various solutions for structural health monitoring have been proposed. Most of the discussion will be made on the basis of the metallic components before predicting some possible LCC reductions with regard to CFRP components just entering their life cycle. Conclusions will finally be drawn with regard to future developments of structural health monitoring systems used for self diagnosis of aircraft structures.
