Nanolubricant Oil Additives for Performance Improvement of the Intermediate Gearbox in the AH-64D Helicopter
This paper presents a new nanolubricant for the intermediate gearbox of the Apache aircraft. Historically, the intermediate gearbox has been prone for grease leaking and this natural-occurring fault has negatively impacted the airworthiness of the aircraft. In this study, the incorporation of graphite nanoparticles in mobile aviation gear oil is presented as a nanofluid with excellent thermo-ph...
متن کاملImpact of Lubrication Analysis on Improvement of AH-64D Helicopter Component Performance
The purpose of this research study is to provide evidence for the further study and possible inclusion of lubricant data and analysis to common condition based maintenance (CBM) practices as a means of increasing the effectiveness of the AH-64D fleet. Presented in the paper are four different AH-64D aircraft wetted-component case studies, which aim to improve performance through the examining t...
متن کاملApplication of lubricants in the ah - 64 d helicopter gearboxes for improvement of condition - based maintenance Practices
This dissertation aims to develop new condition-based maintenance (CBM) tools for increasing performance of Apache helicopter drivetrain gearboxes, through lubrication and signal analysis. An extensive consumer of CBM is the Apache helicopter that involves testing critical components to demonstrate reliability and performance, measured through data-driven condition indicators (CIs). These indic...
متن کاملMeasurement of Gearbox Surface Frequency Response Functions for HUMS Algorithm Improvement
Vibration diagnostic algorithms used to identify incipient bearing faults are installed in Digital Source Collectors (DSC) on nearly 2000 US Army rotorcraft. These algorithms depend on the structural vibration characteristics of the bearings, gearboxes, and mounting brackets to transmit the signatures associated with bearing abnormalities and faults. Two distinct algorithm families exist to mea...
متن کاملGearbox Tooth Cut Fault Diagnostics Using Acoustic Emission and Vibration Sensors — A Comparative Study
In recent years, acoustic emission (AE) sensors and AE-based techniques have been developed and tested for gearbox fault diagnosis. In general, AE-based techniques require much higher sampling rates than vibration analysis-based techniques for gearbox fault diagnosis. Therefore, it is questionable whether an AE-based technique would give a better or at least the same performance as the vibratio...
