Information Technology for Processing and Treating Aircraft End of Life

Abstract:

EOL processing includes 4 major steps: decontamination, disassembly of reused or remanufactured parts, dismantling of the remaining carcass, materials recovery and valorization and/or landfill. In this paper, we present general methods to implement profitable rebirthing processes on a real Bombardier CRJ100. This work is critical to help aircraft manufacturers design current and next generation aircraft. The scope of this project includes some aspects related to dismantling of an aircraft. These aspects are studied using both modeling, based on a heuristic resolution, and experimental approaches. Data acquisition can be automatically accomplished.
