Probabilistic reliability modeling of fatigue on the H-46 tie bar

The H-46 helicopter has experienced early in-service failures in its tie bar. The tie bar is a multi-component system that is a critical part of the linkage, which attaches the rotor blade to the rotating hub of the helicopter. This research developed methodology to predict the life of the tie bar u...
