SIGMOIDAL SENSING DEVICES FOR MONITORING TO IMPROVE MAINTENANCE OPERATIONS IN AERONAUTICS
H. Pfeiffer¹, H. Sekler, Deutsche Lufthansa AG, Germany; M. Wevers¹; ¹KU Leuven, Belgium
This paper presents and intents to stimulate the implementation of “sigmoidal responding sensing devices” for the health monitoring of structures and systems in diverse aircraft segments to essentially avoid problems arising from a too weak “contrast” between actual damage signals and interfering background variations.
