The purpose of this study was to identify if the data collected by Turbine Engine Monitoring Systems (TEMS) could benefit an engine's Component Improvement Program (CIP) management. The initial plan was to identify and assess any benefits by comparing an engine with a CIP (PWA TF30) but not TEMS against an engine with a CIP and a TEMS (GE TF34). This was not possible, however, because the TEMS data were not being used to assist with TF34 CIP management because of the lack of a Central Data Base to collate and transform the data. The engine duty cycle was identified as the key to many important areas of a CIP, including engine component life usage and failure replication and diagnosis. As mentioned in the previous paragraph, the current methods used to identify as engine's duty cycle lack the accuracy and reliability that are required to manage modern gas turbine engines. The main thrust of the recommendations is that a central data base be established so that the TF34 CIP manager can utilize TEMS data. In addition, a comparison using cost analysis is recommended to firmly establish the benefits to both long and short term engine management. Keywords: Theses; Aircraft engines.

Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences was first conceived, published, and disseminated by the Center for Information and Numerical Data Analysis and Synthesis (CINDAS) * at Purdue University in 1 957, starting its coverage of theses with the academic year 1955. Beginning with Volume 13, the printing and dissemination phases of the activity were transferred to University Microfilms/Xerox of Ann Arbor, Michigan, with the thought that such an arrangement would be more beneficial to the academic and general scientific and technical community. After five years of this joint undertaking we had concluded that it was in the interest of all con cerned if the printing and distribution of the volumes were handled by an interna tional publishing house to assure improved service and broader dissemination. Hence, starting with Volume 18, Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences has been disseminated on a worldwide basis by Plenum Publishing Cor poration of New York, and in the same year the coverage was broadened to include Canadian universities. All back issues can also be ordered from Plenum. We have reported in Volume 32 (thesis year 1987) a total of 12,483 theses titles from 22 Canadian and 176 United States universities. We are sure that this broader base for these titles reported will greatly enhance the value of this important annual reference work. While Volume 32 reports theses submitted in 1987, on occasion, certain univer sities do report theses submitted in previous years but not reported at the time.
