Coupons to aircraft fatigue tracking
AD has generated numerous experimental crack growth curves to support ADF ASI (via Quantitative Fractography)
• Arguably world’s largest database, e.g.
Outcomes:• Data used to validate crack growth tools and individual aircraft
tracking (IAT) algorithms• Marker bands inserted into JSF, P8 etc• Upgraded IAT e.g.
• Hornet Mission Severity Monitoring Program V3 (MSMP3)• Novel algorithm• Addressed anomalies in MSMP2• 5% average DECREASE in estimated fatigue accrual

Future ASI for iSustainment
PRESENT STATE• Rules based• Labour-intensive inspections
and analyses• Infrastructure-intensive:
expensive, large, long-running tests for certification and V&V.
• Reactive: based on post-mortem of accidents, incidents & shortfalls
FUTURE STATE• Risk based: probabilistic approaches • Computation intensive, real time material &
structural assessment.• Rapid & flexible design, simulation and
verification approaches• Composite lifing• Certified AM• Non-contact, wide area inspection
