Abstract:

Passenger-to-cargo conversion is an effective way to cope with the volume growth of air cargo and the disposal of old
passenger aircraft. Passenger-to-cargo aircraft are mostly aged aircraft with serious structural damage problem,
thus the development of structural health management system has a very important engineering application value.
This paper combines the current situation of aircraft health management business in an MRO (maintenance, repair
and overhaul) enterprise and its own information development needs, based on an electronic prototype model of a
certain type passenger-to-cargo aircraft, a passenger-to-cargo aircraft structural health management system is designed and developed, providing an efficient processing and management platform for a large amount of structural
health data, implementing functions such as computer management of health management business, sharing and
communication of information resources, analysis and evaluation of typical injuries, etc. The finite element analysis
provides effective value for aircraft configuration management and health management.
