Infos

System Health Management: with Aerospace Applications
provides the first complete reference text for System Health
Management (SHM), the set of technologies and processes used to
improve system dependability. Edited by a team of engineers and
consultants with SHM design, development, and research experience
from NASA, industry, and academia, each heading up sections in
their own areas of expertise and co-coordinating contributions from
leading experts, the book collates together in one text the
state-of-the-art in SHM research, technology, and applications. It
has been written primarily as a reference text for practitioners,
for those in related disciplines, and for graduate students in
aerospace or systems engineering.

There are many technologies involved in SHM and no single person
can be an expert in all aspects of the discipline.System
Health Management: with Aerospace Applications provides an
introduction to the major technologies, issues, and references in
these disparate but related SHM areas. Since SHM has evolved most
rapidly in aerospace, the various applications described in this
book are taken primarily from the aerospace industry. However, the
theories, techniques, and technologies discussed are applicable to
many engineering disciplines and application areas.

Readers will find sections on the basic theories and concepts of
SHM, how it is applied in the system life cycle (architecture,
design, verification and validation, etc.), the most important
methods used (reliability, quality assurance, diagnostics,
prognostics, etc.), and how SHM is applied in operations
(commercial aircraft, launch operations, logistics, etc.), to
subsystems (electrical power, structures, flight controls, etc.)
and to system applications (robotic spacecraft, tactical missiles,
rotorcraft, etc.).

He has also authored or edited 3 books in the aerospace field including The Secret of Apollo: Systems Management in American and European Space Programs. Mr Thomas Gormley has been involved with the NASA Aerospace industry for over 20 years, and was the Integrated Vehicle Health Management Project Leader for Rockwell Space Systems during the early 1990s. He brings expertise in systems implementation to the project. Dr Seth S. Kessler is president and owner of Metis Design Corporation, a design consulting firm specializing in custom sensing solutions. He brings expertise in structural health monitoring and composite materials to the project. Mr Charles Mott is a business analyst with the Tauri group, currently under contract at NASA. He brings expertise in the socio-technical aspects of large-scale technological projects to the project. Dr Ann Patterson-Hine is Group Leader of the Health Management Technologies Group at the Ames Research Center. She brings expertise on the use of engineering models for model-based reasoning in advanced monitoring and diagnostic systems to the project. Dr Karl Reichard is head of the ARL Penn State Monitoring and Automation Department. He brings expertise in the implementation of signal processing, control and embedded diagnost Mr Philip A. Scandura, Jr joined Honeywell in 1984 where he currently holds the position of Staff Scientist in their Advanced Technology Organization. He brings expertise in the system definition and implementation of real-time, embedded systems for use in safety-critical and mission-critical applications to the project.
