Short course/CPD

Introduction to Integrated Vehicle Health Management

 

Course date: Please enquire

Course overview

The course gives delegates an overview of Integrated Vehicle Health Management (IVHM) technology and its role in businesses.  IVHM is discussed relevant to all industry sectors, and draws widely on Cranfield's heritage in the aerospace industry.  Particular features of the course are:

  • Understanding of the impact of IVHM on business models and processes.
  • Summary of individual IVHM technologies, e.g. structural health monitoring, prognostics, FDIR.
  • A system engineering approach explains the context in which individual technologies are applied to enable full exploitation of opportunities.
  • Appreciation of current approaches in IVHM as used by leading practitioners.
  • Case studies of IVHM applications

Speakers

Professor Ian Jennions - Ian is Director of the IVHM Centre and has previously held senior positions in Rolls-Royce, ABB and GE.  His background involves work on aerodynamics (CFD), heat transfer and mechanical design specifically related to gas turbine applications.  More recently Ian has been involved with Service business and the growing field of IVHM.

Professor Phil Irving - Phil holds the CAA chair in Damage Tolerance at Cranfield University and is head of the Damage Tolerance Group.  He has researched a wide range of techniques for damage detection and assessment for health monitoring and life prognosis in metallic and polymer composite aircraft structures.  He is a Technical Director of Cranfield University IVHM Centre.

Professor Len Gelman - is the Chair in Vibro-Acoustic Monitoring and Director of the Centre of Vibro-Acoustics and Fatigue at Cranfield University. He has more than 25 years experience in signal processing and vibro-acoustic monitoring of complex mechanical systems (e.g. rotating, reciprocating machinery etc) both in industry and academia.  

Other contributors to the course are drawn from IVHM Centre partners and research groups working on IVHM technologies.
