Applying materials state awareness to condition-based maintenance and system life cycle management: summary of a workshop

In August 2014, the committee on Defense Materials Manufacturing and Infrastructure convened a workshop to discuss issues related to applying materials state awareness to condition-based maintenance and system life cycle management.

The workshop was structured around three focal topics: (1) advances in metrology and experimental methods, (2) advances in physics-based models for assessment, and (3) advances in databases and diagnostic technologies.

This report summarizes the discussions and presentations from this workshop.
