As spacecraft designs converge toward miniaturization, and with the volumetric and mass challenges placed on avionics, programs will continue to advance the “state of the art” in spacecraft system development with new challenges to reduce power, mass and volume. Traditionally, the trend is to focus on high-density component packaging technologies. Industry has made significant progress in these technologies, and other related internal and external interconnection schemes. Although new technologies have improved packaging densities, a system packaging architecture is required that not only reduces spacecraft volume and mass budgets, but increase integration efficiencies, provide modularity and flexibility to accommodate multiple missions while maintaining a low recurring cost. With these challenges in mind, a novel system packaging approach incorporates solutions that provide broader environmental applications, more flexible system interconnectivity, scalability, and simplified assembly test and integration schemes. The Integrated Avionics System (IAS) provides for a low-mass, modular distributed or centralized packaging architecture which combines ridged-flex technologies, high-density COTS hardware and a new 3-D mechanical packaging approach, Horizontal Mounted Cube (HMC). This paper will describe the fundamental elements of the IAS, HMC hardware design, system integration and environmental test results.

Information System Integration

The effective coordination of enterprise information resources is maintaining its consistency, integrity and efficient utilization of inevitable requirement, but also is the main means to solve the information resource content and structure is becoming more and more diversified and complex. To realize the effective and efficient means of information coordination is the standardization of information resources, structured and hierarchical organization and management. This article first discusses the necessity of enterprise system integration, and put forward the basic principle of the integrated system. For the corresponding implementation method, this paper studied the enterprise information system integration framework based on message, overall design, system access and the message interaction design and data integration model design, to explore the access instant feasible scheme of information sharing between enterprises and internal data and external between enterprise and enterprise.

Abstract In the development of an aero-engine combustor, the definition of a preliminary design is a practice in which know-how, product experience and design rules are focal in deriving a configuration able to meet the functional requirements. Several configurations, and hence multiple geometries resulting in different behaviours, are iteratively analysed in this phase to extensively explore the design space. In this context, an automated procedure ranging from preliminary design to life estimation is necessary and crucial. A framework in which the tools employed in the design workflow are integrated and the low-added-value tasks are automated can allow the reduction of time per analysis within the loop and the enhancement of the procedure’s robustness. In this paper will be presented the Combustor Design System Integration (DSI), a methodology aimed at easing and streamlining the design process of aero-engine combustors. To do this, digitization has been taken as the common thread for developing a data-centric approach. The logic behind the procedure will be reported, to focus then on the aero-thermal preliminary design. The procedure, for this phase, is composed of three main integrated components: a CAD generation system, which collects all the geometries for creating an exportable 3D model, a 1D thermal solver for the positioning and sizing of the aero feature on liners (i.e. cooling, dilution...) and a CFD environment with automated pre/post processing operations for reacting-flow analysis. The aim of this work is to contextualize the DSI approach in the combustor design process and to provide a first description of the methodology designed and developed in GE Avio. For that purpose, a straight-through configuration — the lean combustor NEWAC developed in the homonymous EU project — will be exploited as a test case. The development of the procedure is still in progress, so a validation through test cell data comparison, as well as highly-resolved CFD results, will be the subject for future papers.

Abstract Brake is a safety critical system for railway vehicles and brake failures have caused many catastrophic accidents in the history. Detailed accident investigation reports are available and National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) also makes safety recommendations to Federal Railroad Administration and the industry. However, there is limited research on how to improve the brake safety from the perspective of design, system integration and safety analysis. In this paper, a framework for braking safety design and analysis is introduced, which includes four parts: failure alarming system, safety design, safety analysis and preventative maintenance. For failure alarming, according to the severity level, the failures will be notified to the operator, to Operation Control Center (OCC) or saved for the maintainer. For safety design, redundant design for fail-safe feature, automatic braking, brake release, weight control, ergonomics design for easy operation and maintenance are discussed and several application examples are illustrated. In the safety analysis section, Preliminary Hazard Analysis (PHA) as a semi-quantitative analysis, Failure Modes, Effects, and Criticality Analysis (FMECA) as a bottom-up method and Fault Tree Analysis as a top-down method are used. The hazards details, system assurance actions and closure references are recorded in the Hazard Tracking Log (HTL) to ensure all the safety related items are well tracked and documented. Preventative Maintenance (PM) which is regularly performed on the brake components to lessen the likelihood of failing is also discussed in combination with the reliability prediction and safety analysis for a balance of safety and economy. The safety design framework and principles introduced in this paper can also be applied into other railway systems, such as Propulsion, Signaling, Doors, etc. and may provide insights to similar industries such as automotive, energy and so on.
