Reliability Analysis of Aircraft Equipment Based on FMECA Method

Abstract

It is well known that reliability of aircraft equipment is very important to aircraft during the flight because performance of aircraft product can affect flight safe directly. In order to make the equipment work normally, FMECA is applied in an aircraft equipment to analyze its reliability and improve operational reliability of the product. Through its reliability mathematical model, average of operational time is predicted based on calculating failure probability of all electrical components. According to the process of reliability theory FMECA, all kinds of the failure mode, reasons, effects and criticality of the products can be determined completely. By comparing these criticality data as shown, the paper analyses adopted method by that the contents, accents and operating process of maintenance may be instituted finally. FMECA-based method for reliability analysis of the equipment and the equipment maintenance performs well. The results indicate that application of FMECA method can analyze reliability in detail and improve operational reliability of the equipment. Therefore this will supply theoretical bases and concrete measures of maintenance of the products to improve operational reliability of products. FMECA can be feasible and effective for improving operational reliability of all aircraft equipments.
