With programs such as U.S. Army Future Vertical Lift (FVL), how can I predict rotorcraft drivetrain life and solve premature failures before they occur?
Dr. Behrooz Jalalahmadi, Lead Scientist for DigitalClone Component, will present how prognostic models are used to extend drivetrain life in design and operation. Learn how Sentient Science solved fretting fatigue failures on a spline component in a Blackhawk platform by evaluating new coatings and duty cycles with computational testing. Life extension programs for bearings and gears in the Blackhawk will also be shown. Drivetrain designers and operators for rotorcraft, industrial equipment, automotive, and wind turbine gearboxes should view this webinar.
