From Aerospace Telemetry to Visual Insight: Identifying Structural Anomalies Without Guesswork
Date: Thursday, June 4
Time: 1:00 p.m. ET | 10:00 a.m. PT
Duration: 30 minutes
Registration: FREE
Level: No prior knowledge of advanced modeling required
Understanding structural behavior from telemetry data isn’t always straightforward, especially when using tools not built for multivariate analysis. Spreadsheets are great for tabular data entry but lack the structure, modeling, visualization, and auditability for standards such as APQP/AS9100/AS9145.
Whether it’s the tool or the approach, many engineers face challenges in identifying relationships that drive anomalies. From changes in operating conditions to interactions between variables to shifts in structural response, anomalies can remain hidden until they are exposed visually.
In this 30-minute session, we take the guesswork out of this process. Using an aerospace case study, we explore how different visualization and analysis approaches reveal patterns that are often missed. We then present a clear, structured workflow for investigating structural behavior in complex systems.
Learn how to:
- Identify which aircraft or components behave differently within a fleet.
- Match the right analytical view to the question at hand.
- Use a structured approach to uncover interactions between speed, temperature, and load.
- Recognize nonlinear structural behavior, including state changes and modal shifts.
- Detect early indicators of issues before traditional thresholds are exceeded.
- Translate observations into clear, actionable engineering decisions.
Using a practical data set representing flight telemetry across multiple aircraft, we walk through how to compare behavior across a fleet using visual analysis. We also identify where anomalies occur within the operating envelope, demonstrate how to distinguish between normal variation and meaningful structural changes, and connect data patterns to physical interpretation.
Who should attend
- Flight test engineers.
- Structural, mechanical, and aeroelastic engineers.
- Systems and reliability teams.
- Engineers working with telemetry, SHM, or fleet data.
Whether you are new to analyzing structural telemetry or refining an existing workflow, this session provides a clear way to move from raw data to understanding – helping you identify where the behavior changes and what to investigate next.
