What is it about?
Corrosion of aerospace structures can cause costly maintenance and eventual failure if not identified and corrected within a timely manner. It is difficult to know where to look for corrosion on huge structures like aircraft. Computational models can help by predicting the location and severity of expected corrosion damage. Using this information, workers can apply targeted inspection and maintenance, saving resources, time, and money. This paper provides a novel validated modeling approach in contrast to conventional modeling practices for atmospheric corrosion, to identify the distribution and severity of corrosion damage on aerospace components.
