Abstract
This article presents a real-time predictive maintenance model of vehicle suspensions based on vibration signal analysis. The study is grounded in the observation that suspension wear and failure are primarily driven by cumulative stresses and external shocks encountered during vehicle operation. We use a wavelet-based technique integrated with stochastic modeling and lifetime data analysis to predict the remaining useful life (RUL) of the suspension. The proposed framework provides a decision-making tool for determining whether and when suspension systems should be subjected to inspection, replacement, or overhaul. An empirical application, using vibration data from a uniaxial accelerometer mounted on a vehicle suspension under varying road conditions, validates the theoretical model and estimation procedure.
期刊介绍:
ASMBI - Applied Stochastic Models in Business and Industry (formerly Applied Stochastic Models and Data Analysis) was first published in 1985, publishing contributions in the interface between stochastic modelling, data analysis and their applications in business, finance, insurance, management and production. In 2007 ASMBI became the official journal of the International Society for Business and Industrial Statistics (www.isbis.org). The main objective is to publish papers, both technical and practical, presenting new results which solve real-life problems or have great potential in doing so. Mathematical rigour, innovative stochastic modelling and sound applications are the key ingredients of papers to be published, after a very selective review process.
The journal is very open to new ideas, like Data Science and Big Data stemming from problems in business and industry or uncertainty quantification in engineering, as well as more traditional ones, like reliability, quality control, design of experiments, managerial processes, supply chains and inventories, insurance, econometrics, financial modelling (provided the papers are related to real problems). The journal is interested also in papers addressing the effects of business and industrial decisions on the environment, healthcare, social life. State-of-the art computational methods are very welcome as well, when combined with sound applications and innovative models.
