Welcome to ASIP 2009

About Jacksonville

The USAF Aircraft Structural Integrity Program (ASIP) Conference

The 2009 Aircraft Structural Integrity Program (ASIP) Conference is specifically designed to bring together the world leaders in the area of aircraft structural integrity and to disseminate information on state-of-the-art technologies for aircraft structures in both the military and civilian fleets. This is the 25th year of the ASIP Conference in its current format, although similar meetings occurred in the 1970s. This year also marks the 51st anniversary of the publication of the initial requirements for the US Air Force’s Aircraft Structural Integrity Program.

ASIP 2009 will continue to provide a forum for the technical interchange of information between personnel responsible for structural integrity, including design, analysis, testing, manufacture, certification, non-destructive evaluation/inspection, maintenance, repair, safety, risk assessment and mitigation, durability and life management. This interchange helps provide the communication necessary to ensure that each community is aware of each other’s capabilities and needs. The ASIP Conference has become even more important to the Air Force, Navy, Army, NASA and the FAA due to the constantly growing emphasis on sustaining the airworthiness of aging aircraft.

Mr. Robert M. Bader Mr. Bader retired from the Flight Dynamics Directorate, Wright Laboratory (now the Air Vehicles Directorate, Air Force Research Laboratory), in 1993 where he served as the Chief of the Structures Division. He was responsible for the planning and execution of the basic research, exploratory development and advanced development programs. Prior to that assignment he was the Assistant Chief and the Assistant for Research and Technology in the Structures Division. From 1965 to 1978 Bob served as the Chief of the Structural Integrity Branch, Chief of the Design and Analysis Branch and Technical Manager of the Analysis Group. During 1975-1976 he was assigned to the F-4 System Program Office and served as the USAF Team Chief, co-located to the McDonnell Aircraft Company, St. Louis, Missouri, for the F-4 Damage Tolerance and Life Extension Program. In 1960 he was assigned to the X-20 Dyna-Soar System Program Office and accomplished thermal analyses of the X-20 Glider and directed several hardware development programs. He began employment with the USAF in the spring of 1959 as an Aeronautical Engineer in the Aircraft Laboratory at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. From 1957 to 1959, he was employed at the Bettis Atomic Power Division, Westinghouse Electric Corporation, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, as a Design Engineer. He served in the US Navy from 1953 to 1957 in the engineering department of a destroyer and as an instructor in the Department of Marine Engineering of the US Naval Academy. He is a Korean War veteran. Since retirement in 1993, he has been employed as a consultant, and now volunteers in an Emeritus position in the Structures Division. Mr. Bader has served, as the US National Delegate to the International Committee on Aeronautical Fatigue, as the National Leader of the Structures and Dynamics Panel of The Technical Cooperation Program, on numerous structural review teams/panels and technical/planning committees for national/international conferences. He has authored several publications in the structural integrity area. He is a Member of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, and a Life Member of the American Society of Civil Engineers and the National Management Association.

Captain Matthew A. ColvinCaptain Matthew A. Colvin is the Chief Aircraft Battle Damage Repair (ABDR) Engineering Instructor for the Air Force Materiel Command (AFMC). In this position, he serves as Headquarters AFMC subject matter expert on ABDR engineering and advises Air Logistics Centers’ Directors of Engineering on needs of the ABDR program to meet warfighter requirements. In addition, Captain Colvin develops coursework and instructs engineers across the Department of Defense and select coalition partners in the arts of rapid aircraft structural repair.

Captain Colvin graduated from the United States Air Force Academy with a B.S. in Engineering Mechanics and was commissioned in 2005. In his first assignment he served as a structural analysis engineer at the Warner Robins Air Logistics Center, focusing on adhesively bonded repairs to metallic structure, and fatigue life enhancing repair practices.

Prior to assuming his current position, Captain Colvin was Chief Depot Liaison Engineer for the 379th Air Expeditionary Wing, Al Udied AB.

Mr. Francis P. CrowleyMr. Francis P. Crowley is Director, Air Force Fleet Viability Board. He leads four fleet viability assessment teams, responsible for making sustainment or retirement recommendations to the Secretary of the Air Force and the Air Force Chief of Staff. In this capacity, he conducts the Air Force’s only integrated analysis of a fleet’s technical fitness, and associated availability and cost of continued ownership.

On 1 June 2005, Mr. Crowley retired from the Air Force after nearly 27 years of service. During his active duty tenure, Mr. Crowley served as a master aircraft maintenance officer and logistician with assignments on KC-135 aircraft at Atlus AFB, OK and Malmstrom AFB, MT, and C-130 aircraft at Yokota Air Base, Japan, Hurlburt Field, FL, and Dyess AFB, TX.
