Defence Science and Technology
Organisation (DSTO)
This is the eighth in the HUMS series of Conferences conducted since 1999 by DSTO in conjunction with the Australian International Airshow. HUMS2013 featured a high quality of papers covering HUMS and CBM and other monitoring programs for helicopters, fixed-wing aircraft, land vehicles and other mechanical equipment. Techniques include a range from usage monitoring, health (condition) monitoring, rotor track and balance, vibration analysis and structural loads monitoring as well as such items as cost-benefit models and data management schemes. After the two days at the Congress venue, HUMS2013 continued on the Thursday with papers and site visit at the Airshow Conference centre at Avalon Airport near Geelong. HUMS2013 was run by a committee comprising representatives of the major areas within Air Vehicles Division of DSTO.
HUMS2013 was one of three concurrent conferences which formed AIAC-15. The following papers are listed by short title and listed presenter. Those papers marked * have been peer reviewed. Papers marked + have no written paper available.
