Basic Science and Art of Aircraft Wreckage ReconstructionR-4804/23/2025
Basic Science and Art of Aircraft Wreckage Reconstruction is a unique title which addresses important aspects of investigating crashes, who does this kind of work, and how a healthy attitude and open mind are required to properly perform investigations. It also discusses what to expect from the on-scene part of the investigation, and the fundamental approaches to common types of wreckage reconstruction. Written by Don Knutson, a veteran of this industry, Basic Science and Art of Aircraft Wreckage Reconstruction is intended for the practitioner, student, or those who are simply curious about how aircraft wreckage is reconstructed. Full references are provided in the various chapters for additional reading and research. Many examples of aircraft crash scenarios and circumstances are presented in a "generic" form but relate to actual investigations, which should prove as a useful investigative resource whether you are an apprentice or an experience professional with a government aviation agency (NTSB, AAIB, FAA, etc.), an aircraft/engine/component manufacturer, military branch, insurance company, law enforcement agency, or a law firm. Basic Science and Art of Aircraft Wreckage Reconstruction is a must-read book for all who are passionate about the subject and want to understand how this activity actually happens in the field.

Applicable definitions and references are contained in SAE J4000. SAE J4000 tests lean implementation within a manufacturing organization and includes those areas of direct overlap with the organization’s suppliers and customers. If applied to each consecutive organizational link, an enterprise level evaluation can be made. SAE J4001 relates the following approximate topic percentages to the implementation process as a whole: SAE J4001 is to be applied on a specific component basis. Each of the 52 components tests part of, one, or multiples of the specific requirements of lean implementation. Implementation throughout an organization may be measured by evaluating all of the components. The level of compliance for each component relative to best practice may be used as a reference by an organization to compare itself to current best practice in establishing lean operation. Examples of current best practice are available in SAE publication RR003. An organization may evaluate only selected components without affecting validity of results.

Digital Standards Systems—An Integrated Approach to Engineering Standards UsageWP-00137/21/2020
Industry standards are key enablers in helping businesses around the meet regulatory requirements, keep costs down, gain market access, and instill consumer confidence. SAE International, a standards development organization (SDO) critical to the transportation industry, works in partnership with industry to develop and distribute standards important in automotive and aerospace product development, product performance, and quality management. Historically, industry standards were formatted with the intention of being distributed in print. This changed with the evolution of new electronic formats, and now most standards are available in PDF or EPUB. While progressive at the time, these formats are now proving inadequate due their optimization for readability by the human eye versus consumption by electronic endpoints. As new technologies develop to better integrate standards into engineering workflows, the necessary changes will not likely follow a linear trajectory, but rather incorporate an interconnected systems-level approach (Figure 1). This paper will review the key considerations in the development of a digital standards system.

AVSC Best Practice for Describing an Operational Design Domain: Conceptual Framework and LexiconAVSC000022020044/15/2020
An ADS-operated vehicle’s operational design domain (ODD) is defined by the manufacturer based on numerous factors. Research is underway at other organizations to define and organize ODD elements into taxonomies and other relational constructs. In order to enhance collaboration and communication between manufacturers and developers and transportation authorities, common terms and consistent frameworks are needed. The conceptual framework presented by Automated Vehicle Safety Consortium establishes a lexicon that can be used consistently by ADS developers and manufacturers responsible for defining their ADS ODD. A common framework and lexicon will reduce confusion, align expectations, and therefore build public trust, acceptance, and confidence. The guidance in this document is intended for: The technical community (e.g. manufacturers and developers) Public agencies (e.g. regulatory authorities) Infrastructure owner-operators The public This document, Best Practice for Describing an Operational Design Domain: Conceptual Framework and Lexicon is a critical first step. It offers a conceptual framework for manufacturers and developers to use when communicating with public agencies and the general public about their ADS’s ODD. It also details a list of potential variables with definitions that manufacturers and developers might use to describe certain aspects of the ODDs of their ADS-operated vehicles. It was developed with fleet-managed, SAE Level 4 vehicles in mind — i.e. vehicles requiring no human intervention to operate within their ODD. These vehicles are NOT privately owned.

A Study on the Development of Aerostructures Design for Assembly Guidelines and Their Effective Use to Proactively Identify Opportunities for Improvement in Mitigating Common Defects of the Aerostructures Assembly2020-01-00093/10/2020
An Aircraft’s assembly process plays a vital part in its design, development and production phases and contributes to about half of the Total cost spent in its entire product lifecycle. Design For Assembly (DFA®) principles have been one of the proven effective methodologies in Automotive and Process industries. Use of DFA® principles have resulted in proactively simplifying and optimizing engineering designs with reduced product costs, and improved efficiencies in product design and performance. Standardization of Assembly guidelines is vital for “Design and Build” and “Build-To-Print” manufacturing supplier organizations. However, Standardizing design methodologies, through use of proven tools like Advanced Product Quality Planning, (APQP) are still in the initial stages in Aerospace part and process design processes. Thus, there is a tremendous opportunity for research on the application of the existing DFA® guidelines to optimize Engineering Aerospace Assembly processes aiming to simplify, standardize design methodologies by building on existing industry practices which have a common platform for design communication and are easy to adopt within the existing process/systems. This technical paper is to discuss the framework for application of DFA® principles and design guidelines specifically aimed for engineering optimization of Aerospace Assembly Process Designs. The Aerospace DFA® implementation framework proposed in this paper is based on the study on the application of the existing DFA® guidelines proven and used in other Process industries to Aerospace Part and Process Design and development. This paper collates the findings, experiences and learnings gained during the study collated from a research point of view using Six Sigma methodology DMAIC and DMADV. This paper also focuses on the use and publication of this research outputs on Aerospace industry applicable DFA® guidelines, which can be used as a reference for emerging Aerospace designers in their future and current designs.

Defining an Open System Architecture Standard for Defense Systems19AERP10_0410/1/2019
For many years now, there have been efforts within the US defense community to adopt “Open System Architecture” principles (or OSA) for defense computing platforms. Stretching back to the mid-2000's there have been numerous efforts by all service branches to define sets of OSA principles or requirements on the embedded computing systems they procure and deploy. While these efforts have resulted in widespread adoption of POSIX functions for common tasks and a gradual shift in the use of common form factors and technologies such as VPX and Ethernet, there are still wide disparities between products from different suppliers, which creates difficulties for integrators. Product variations also make technology insertions or system configuration changes expensive, time consuming, and often locked to a particular vendor. In 2019 the US defense embedded computing market underwent a transformation. Started in 2017, the Sensor Open Systems Architecture group (or SOSA) is an organization consisting of government, system integrators, and component suppliers who are working to craft an OSA standard for defense sensor systems. If successful, SOSA will standardize hardware implementations and form a guideline for system integration in order to encourage greater reuse and enable rapid future technology insertions.
A “STEP” Forward for Product Lifecycle Management19AERP10_0210/1/2019
The existence of countless proprietary file formats and the exchange of 3D CAD data has been a significant problem since the beginning of 3D CAD modeling. CAD applications and methods using digital data are constantly changing, which predicates the need for a solution to share validated and accurately translated data. Thus the birth of STEP242. Companies who are adopting model-based processes and tools within their organizations are using ISO 10303 STEP Application Protocols AP242 and AP239 for both exchanging data as well as maintaining data for archival and retrieval. Long Term Data Archival and Retrieval (LOTAR) (http://www.lotar-international.org) is an International project sponsored by multiple consortiums for the standardization of the archival and retrieval of digital product and technical data. This project is ISO compliant and works across multi-CAD environments enabling stake holders to share 3D data within a Model-Based Environment (MBE) or a digital enterprise. To ensure the preservation of design intent, validation properties that include geometric shape representation, assembly features, saved views, user-defined attributes, color, visibility, and Product & Manufacturing Information (PMI) 3D data need to be verified and validated for compliance. The culmination of these standards is allowing companies around the globe to manage interoperability with fewer challenges.

Determination of Validation Testing Scenarios for an ADAS Functionality: Case Study2019-01-01374/2/2019
As the engineering community continues working on automated driving (AD) functionalities, the topic of safety validation still provides fuel for discussions. Despite the vehicles equipped with higher level AD functionalities ready to enter service on public roads, there is still no state-of-the-art process created for safety validation procedures. In this situation, vehicles with similar functionalities may end up coming through fundamentally different validation procedure, and the public may be exposed to additional risks. This paper fist formulates requirements which safety validation process needs to fulfill. The requirements are based on ISO 26262, PAS 21448 (SOTIF), and the state of the art requirements typical for safety applications. Then, the process of implementation of those requirements is sketched.

A Process for Utilizing Aerospace Propulsion Health Management Systems for Maintenance CreditARP5987 (Historical)12/6/2018
The process detailed within this document is generic and can be applied to commercial and military applications. It applies to the entire end-to-end health management system throughout its lifecycle, covering on-board and on-ground elements. The practical application of this standardized process is detailed in the form of a checklist. The on-board element described here are the source of the data acquisition used for off-board analysis. The on-board aspects relating to safety of flight, pilot notification, etc., are addressed by the other SAE Committees standards and documents. This document does not prescribe hardware or software assurance levels, nor does it answer the question “how much mitigation and evidence are enough”. The criticality level and mitigation method will be determined between the ‘Applicant’ and the regulator. In order to provide some detailed guidance utilizing the process and checklist, some high-level examples of previous successful cases of Maintenance Credit applications are included. At this point, it is incumbent on the ‘Applicant’ to explain any differences in terminology between the health management system they are seeking a credit for and the appropriate regulatory references. For example, the system name often uses interchangeable terms such as Engine Health Monitoring, Equipment Health Management, Prognostic Health Management, Powerplant Health Management, etc.

Definition equations for the steering wheel location2018-36-02569/3/2018
The environment of vehicle occupants and the arrangement of controls around the driver are critical factors for determining a good vehicle concept. The location of the steering wheel is perhaps one of the most important factors to be considered. Engineering organizations such as SAE and GCIE have struggled to provide guidelines which standardize the variables important during the development of vehicles, and, thus far do not provide a reference for steering wheel positioning. Realizing this deficiency, researchers have devoted considerable effort studying this relationship. Based on the investigations of M. Reed [2013], it was noted that there was an opportunity to develop equations which could serve as references for positioning the steering wheel based upon the seat height (H30), then, find a correlation directly to the driver's seating position. For the development of this work, data from the M. Reed [2013] model was used. The correlation between different seat heights and how these relate to the steering wheel position were investigated and measured in Reed's laboratory. The data was taken from a considerable range of vehicles available in the US market. This data was plotted and the equations obtained by linear interpolation of the points are presented here as references for application in advanced vehicle development, where fast and less precise definitions of the variables are sufficient to determine the main concepts of the vehicle, called Vehicle Advance Packaging. These steering wheel positioning equations were also correlated with a minimum safety distance to the chest of a 50th percentile female Dummy to ensure sufficient time for the Air Bag deployment between the driver and the steering wheel.

Standard Rainflow File FormatJ2623_201808 (Current)8/24/2018
This SAE Standard provides a definition of a rainflow file format. This type of simple text file would contain all relevant information about the rainflow cycle content of a time history. Included information are Comments, Signal Range, Signal Mean, Number of Cycles, Signal Maximum, Signal Minimum. Rainflow cycle counting has become the most accepted procedure for identifying material fatigue relevant cycles in complex variable amplitude load time histories. The cycle counting methods account for the effects of material plasticity and material memory of prior deformation, and the resulting compressed history information is used by durability analysts to estimate the effects of a given service or test history. Standardization of the rainflow counting methods output files, which is the format addressed by the present standard, is important for reliable information transfer between test and design groups, or different calculation software packages, and thus forms a critical step in the evaluation of components and vehicles. Further background information can be found in the SAE publication AE-10 cited in 2.1.1.

This standard, SAE1002, is a republication of FGDC-STD-011-2001, and defines a preferred USNG for mapping applications at scales of approximately 1:1000000 and larger. It defines how to present Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) coordinates at various levels of precision. It specifies the use of those coordinates with the grid system defined by the Military Grid Reference System (MGRS). Additionally, it addresses specific presentation issues such as grid spacing. Together, the UTM coordinate representation, the MGRS grid, and the specific grid presentation requirements define the USNG. Use of USNG grid coordinates may be useful, and even desirable, within some systems or enterprises. The decision to use USNG grid coordinates or some other coordinate system internal to geographic information systems or location service appliances is left to the discretion of the system developer as long as the human interface provides for USNG grid coordinate readout as one option.

Multi-Domain Command and Control (MDC2)18AERP02_012/1/2018
Changing the Face of Modern Warfare We are at an inflection point in the evolution of warfare. While technology is rapidly increasing pace, it is also creating an expansion into multiple, parallel domains, and giving enemy forces more options for both disruption and defense. Technology advances are a key factor to successes spanning the spectrum from humanitarian efforts to complex anti-access/area-denial environments. However, technology is only an enabler, and mindsets must change to allow the technology to be a tool for success, and not ignored due to antiquated doctrine, policies, and guidance. MDC2 represents a new way of thinking about how to coordinate force employment across multiple warfighting domains, and bridging capabilities from old and new technologies. MDC2 itself is not a new technology, but rather a mindset for operational planning, and creating systems that can more easily talk and coordinate with each other. Successful MDC2 will require tendrils and communications links that allow seamless situational awareness, and cross-coordination of planning efforts across existing horizontal and vertical boundaries.

Moving swiftly to define the shared-mobility future Public and private partnerships to standardize data, share data, and protect sensitive data are being formed to help understand-and at the same time define- shared-mobility's potential to transform the transportation network. Shared-mobility operators, for example, compile data such as the origin and destination of shared services, travel time, and trip duration. And many shared-mobility companies have agreed to share data with public agencies voluntarily or as part of regulatory mandate.

Introduction: Welcome to the Revolution Autonomy: the New Age of Automobility The self-driving future brings profound implications for the auto industry-and unprecedented mobility to a lot more people. The Building Blocks of Autonomous Tech Sensors, processors, architecture and communications trends for the self-driving future. Artificial Intelligence Becomes a Reality Automakers could be among the leaders in deploying AI in free-standing, high-reliability environments. But developers must determine how to mitigate undesirable side-effects. Standards Play a Vital Role Developing safe, reliable AVs and their infrastructure requires a robust foundation of standards. SAE's expert explains. A Revolution for Testing The new American Center for Mobility is the ultimate proving ground for real-world testing and validation of autonomous vehicles. Integration, Communication Hurdles to Truck Automation Combining sensors, inter-vehicle communications and controllers poses major challenges in the effort to bring autonomy to commercial trucking. Suppliers Take the Tech Lead Tier 1s and their partners are driving autonomy's technology bus. Six execs talk about their roles. Embracing the Challenge of Smart Cities "Smarter" cities will be better, more-productive places. But development challenges abound. Why America Needs a National Autonomous-Vehicle Development Policy A set of standardized autonomous-vehicle regulations, applicable nationwide, is the best policy structure to encourage AV-specific innovation. Automated Driving: Who Should Regulate What? Traditional state and federal roles in transportation regulation are being tested by autonomy's new vistas.
