Content preview from Reliability Based Aircraft Maintenance Optimization and Applications

Preface

Aircraft maintenance is an independent, multiskilled practice that synthesizes many disciplines from different sources, such as failure mode and effect analysis, damage and special events analysis, logistics-related operations analysis, software support analysis, and more. Therefore, reliable, systematic methodologies are needed for supporting the continuous airworthiness of newly developed regional jets or trunk airliners.

This book was written based on the researches of its authors, and initially used as an internal reference manual by aviation industries. Many thanks are given to Shanghai Jiaotong University Press and Elsevier Limited. It is their dedicated work that made these technical notes and papers possible for public available. ...
