Applying Materials State Awareness to Condition-Based Maintenance and System Life Cycle Management: Summary of a Workshop

The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine has released a report that summarizes the discussions and presentations from an August 2014 workshop that explored issues related to applying materials state awareness to condition-based maintenance and system life cycle management. The workshop was structured around three focal topics: (1) advances in metrology and experimental methods, (2) advances in physics-based models for assessment, and (3) advances in databases and diagnostic technologies.

TRB is part of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, which provides independent, objective analysis and advice to the nation and conducts other activities to solve complex problems and inform public policy decisions. The Academies also encourage education and research, recognize outstanding contributions to knowledge, and increase public understanding in matters of science, engineering, and medicine.
