Abstract :
The interrelationship of mechanical system condition monitor (MSCM) design parameters with R&M (reliability and maintenance) and O&S (operation and support) cost parameters is established. Based on these relationships, a simple model that allows numerical estimates of required diagnostic attributes is developed in two parts. The proposed methodology relates support costs, mean time between removal, and fault detection effectiveness. Some statistics on a modern helicopter (AH-64) are reviewed in light of the proposed model
