(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)This thesis presents a probability-based framework for assessing the impact of manufacturing variability on combustor liner durability. Simplified models are used to link combustor liner life, liner temperature variability, ...
-
(2011-07-04)This paper presents a real-time path planning algorithm which can guarantee probabilistic feasibility for autonomous robots subject to process noise and an uncertain environment, including dynamic obstacles with uncertain ...

-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)The probability of instability is computed via a new approach based on Importance Sampling and a dynamic compression system model. In contrast to ordinary Monte Carlo methods Importance Sampling offers reduced confidence ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)This thesis addresses variability in aerodynamic performance of a compressor rotor due to geometric variation. The performance of the rotor is computed using a meanline model that includes the effect of tip clearance ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)The effect of variability on turbine blade durability was assessed for seven design/operating parameters in three blade designs. The parameters included gas path and cooling convective parameters, metal and coating thermal ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)The effects and importance of incorporating probabilistic aspects of the progression of damage in the analysis of composite structures are assessed. Two specific cases of graphite/epoxy with centrally-located holes are ...
-
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1985], 1985)A mathematical model of the expected position errors encountered from LORAN-C during a non precision approach was formulated. From this, position error ellipses were generated that corresponded to two time difference ...

-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)The relationship between tolerances of statically measured geometric parameters and the aerodynamic performance of a sample of manufactured airfoils is investigated in this thesis. The objective is to determine which ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)Manufacturing variability is likely the primary cause of a large scatter in the life of gas turbine hot-section components. This research deals with schemes to improve robustness through tolerancing input parameters in ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)This project presents improvements to the business process used to generate the Sikorsky five-year production scheduling plan that is a central coordinating process for company operations. Recommendations will improve the ...
-
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Aeronautics & Astronautics, Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1982], 1982)This report presents a complete description of a digital flight data processing platform designed to support a range of airborne or flight simulator based experiments requiring the acquisition, processing, and display of ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)This work presents a method for assessing the potential impacts of program risks on aviation technology transitions. It first establishes a framework that provides a methodology to complete the assessment of those risks. ...
