Diagnostic techniques for fatigue life monitoring of dynamic components such as gears, bearings, and shafts will be evaluated and integrated into an overall concept for an airborne fatigue life monitoring system. a draft specification will be written to define the functional elements of a fatigue life monitoring system for the drive train of a ch-47d helicopter. the system specification will include algorithms for data processing, data compression, data sampling routines, and voting logic to maximize the probability of detecting true faults while minimizing the probability of triggering a false alarm.
