Description:
NASA-Lewis is actively involved in the general effort to research, develop, test, and evaluate advanced theoretical, analytical, experimental, and probabilistic analysis concepts required for life prediction of liquid rocket engines at the subcomponent, component, and engine system levels. The models developed are oriented toward use in advanced health monitoring systems of space propulsion systems. It is planned to demonstrate the methodology considering a representative set of three components such as a main injector element, a combustion chamber liner, and a turbopump blade. This paper describes the initial development and application of this method to a specific location in the main injector element of the SSME. Further enhancements and various elements of the framework will be completed as the work proceeds in subsequent years.
