Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A system method of estimating health of aircraft brake system friction material includes sensing a temperature of the friction material, and supplying the sensed temperature to a processor-implemented thermal model that is configured to estimate friction material temperatures at one or more locations on the friction material. The estimates of friction material temperatures are supplied to a processor-implemented thermal oxidation model that is configured, based on the estimates of friction material temperatures, to estimate friction material loss due to thermal oxidation. Data representative of runway fluid exposure are supplied to a processor-implemented catalytic oxidation model that is configured, based on the runway fluid exposure, to estimate friction material loss due to catalytic oxidation. The health of the friction material is estimated based on the estimates of friction material loss from the processor-implemented thermal oxidation model and the processor-implemented catalytic oxidation model.
