Abstract
This thesis describes the data base needed to assess improvement in the
performance of a modification to the long electroless nickel (LEN) fuel tube of the
TF-34-400 engine during the time the modified component is being introduced into
the fleet. It also provides the methods and equations for estimating the reliability
of a modified component during its implementation. The component failure times
are assumed to have a Weibull distribution. When implemented, this methodology
will provide engine program management teams more timely information which
should enhance their decision-making process significantly.
