THE USE OF CORRELATION ANALYSIS OF TWO-DIMENSION STOCHASTIC PROCESS FOR HELICOPTER MAINTENANCE WORKABILITY ESTIMATION

Abstract

The new calculated program complex which main task is to find the optimal algorithm of stochastic helicopter de- sign and assembling in terms of maintenance efficiency is described. It is shown that the use of the developed calculated program complex allows to efficiently solve the problems of helicopter construction with high-rating maintenance worka- bility factors.It is shown that for efficient problem solving connected with Maintenance and Repair costs reduction while heli- copter engineering and assembling in design office it is appropriate to use correlated analysis for maintenance workability estimation with the use of CAD system. The calculated program complex is based on mathematical apparatus of linear cor-related dependence of two-dimension (stochastic) process. The linear correlated dependence is considered as linear or anyconnection close to it between two variables for which the correlated analysis theorem is true.The algorithm of calculated program complex for helicopter maintenance workability estimation consists of five steps: choice of equipment that needs to be installed on the helicopter; correlation coefficient calculation for helicopters having this equipment and revealing of optimal variants of location; zone partition of the developed helicopter and analysis of possi- ble disposal of clusters in optimal order; disposal of clusters on the designed helicopter; correlation coefficient calculation, direct regression construction for the designed helicopter and comparison of these readings with helicopters-analogues. The calculation data of correlated analysis characteristics which indicate a possibility of increase of helicopter maintenance worka- bility level with a modicum of effort and time when working out the particular functional system is given.
