The Goodrich Integrated Mechanical Diagnostics Health and Usage System (IMD-HUMS), mechanical diagnostics functionality is the integration of disparate subsystems. When the aircraft is in the appropriate capture window, the primary processing unit (PPU) commands the vibration processing unit (VPU) to capture vibration data and a tachometer reference. This time domain data is processed by standard and proprietary algorithms to generate component condition indicators (CI). These CI are statistics, which when used with a priori configuration data, are mapped into component health indicators (HI). The VPU passes the component HI data to both the PPU and the data transfer unit for ground station display. The PPU, taking the HI data for a component, can determine if the component has a degraded health state. If the component is degraded, the PPU can generate an exceedance message to be reviewed during maintenance debrief. After the flight, all CI and HI data are stored in a data base and is available for display against an aircraft, composite component (e. g. line replaceable unit) and the component itself. The acquisition process is complicated by noise from internal sources (non synchronous gears, shafts and bearing not under analysis) and external sources (changes in airspeed, torque, weight, etc). The HI becomes, in essence, a statistical indicator of the components health. As such, the best estimator of component health is calculated using a Kalman filter. This reduces variance in the data prior to display of the component HI to the aircraft operator.
