 | Furse, Cynthia M. | Down to the wire | As today's military and commercial aircraft age past their teen years, the many kilometers of wiring buried deep within their structures begin to crack and fray. Once thought to be rare and benign, such faults are found by the hundreds in a typical aircraft. Unlike obvious cracks in a wing or an e... | Aging wiring; Wire fault location; Aging wire detection; Smart wire systems | 2001-01-01 |

 | Furse, Cynthia M. | Mixed-signal reflectometer for location of faults on aging wiring | Location of faults on aging cables is of great interest to maintainers of aircraft, cars, power distribution systems, communication systems, etc. One class of methods for locating faults is frequency domain reflectometry (FDR), using sine waves as the forcing function. A new frequency domain method... | Mixed signal reflectometer; Fault location; Aging wiring; Nondestructive evaluation; Reflectometry | 2005-12 |

 | Furse, Cynthia M. | Invisible fray: a critical analysis of the use of reflectometry for fray location | Significant international research and development efforts have been devoted to methods and equipment for locating wiring faults, particularly those on aging aircraft. Several reflectometry methods that send high frequency signals down the line and analyze the returned reflections have risen to the... | Reflectometry; Fray location; Invisible fray; Fault location; Aging wiring; Spread spectrum reflectometry | 2006-06 |

 | Furse, Cynthia M. | Frequency-domain reflectometery for on-board testing of aging aircraft wiring | Aging aircraft wiring poses a significant safety threat and has been implicated in losses of both military and commercial aircraft. This paper describes the conceptual design and function of a "smart wiring system" based on a low-cost frequency-domain reflectometer (FDR) that can be used to test th... | Frequency domain reflectometry; Aging wiring; On board testing | 2003-05 |
