Abstract:

During the last decade, there has been an evolving understanding of the importance of the Electrical Wire Interconnect System (EWIS) in aircraft safety. However, there is still no agreement on how the EWIS should be analyzed in aircraft safety assessment. The Federal Aviation Administration has initiated many programs to improve the understanding of safety issues related to the EWIS. This final report documents the development of Advanced Risk Assessment Methods for Aircraft Electrical Interconnect Systems (EIS). The project was divided into four tasks to identify current EIS design and risk assessment methods, techniques, practices, and tools; develop advanced EIS risk assessment methods; develop computer-based EIS risk assessment tools; and finally assess the tools. At the conclusion of the research program, a software tool and an EWIS database was developed. The software tool contains collocation analysis, quantitative analysis, and reporting modules. The collocation analysis performs the qualitative aspects. The quantitative analysis is performed by failure matrix analysis and damage potential analysis. The bundle section report brings aspects of these analyses together and reports on the whole EWIS.
