In the proposed method, the oil film thickness, the oil film pressure and the elastic deformation are determined by solving the Reynolds equation, the oil film thickness equation, the viscosity-pressure equation, the density-pressure equation and the force balance equation simultaneously. The geometrical imperfection is considered by modifying the oil film thickness equation. The above equations are solved iteratively until satisfy the balance relationship of oil film thickness, elastic deformation and geometrical interaction. Finally, the contact force is calculated by integrating the oil film pressure in the entire contact region. Results show that the geometrical imperfection would largely affect the oil film thickness and the oil film pressure, and thus affect the contact force. The current investigation could provide a theoretical tool to calculate the contact force in dynamic models of rolling element bearings with imperfect surfaces. Meanwhile, the current method can also be used in the calculation of the contact force at textured surfaces in rolling element bearings.","PeriodicalId":113460,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE International Conference on Prognostics and Health Management (ICPHM)","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124558003","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

More specifically, the CNN used takes the monitoring target machine’s vibrational data as input and predicts whether the target’s state is healthy or anomalous. A CNN visualization technique is applied this network to obtain an explanation of its predictions. In order to evaluate the obtained explanation, it is compared with an expert diagnosis made on the same data set.

In this paper, we present a solution for Fault Detection and Isolation (FDI) in industrial networks with same type of components (electrical, mechanical, etc.) such as power grids, and water supply networks. Traditional FDI algorithms are trained to detect and isolate faults on the level of a single component by considering features from this component and sometimes from nearby components. These algorithms are sub-optimal as they are independently applied to individual components without explicitly taking into consideration the dependency between the several components that co-exist in industrial network. The interaction between the components makes fault isolation challenging. An operation change or a fault in a component can affect the neighboring components. This negatively impact the diagnosis accuracy when we design an independent diagnoser for each component. On the other hand, designing a global diagnoser without considering the network structure can lead to overfitting which can degrade the diagnosis performance significantly specially when the training data is limited. Moreover, because of the large number of components in these systems, the single fault assumption may not stand. This increases the complexity of the problem. In order to solve this problem, we first model the industrial network as a weighted undirected graph structure. The graph structure represents the connected components. The weights quantify these connections. We then apply Graph Convolutional Neural Networks (GCNN) to detect and isolate faulty components in these systems. In the case study, we apply our solution to a simulated industrial network with 100 components. The case study shows that GCNN outperforms several baseline algorithms.","PeriodicalId":113460,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE International Conference on Prognostics and Health Management (ICPHM)","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127132010","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This information could potentially help to reduce operating and maintenance costs. Although significant amount of research has been spent in determining Remaining Useful Lifetimes (RUL) of various systems, these efforts often implicitly assume an unrestricted availability of measurement data. However, the amount of acquired data significantly drives the necessary investment cost or is sometimes even impossible to obtain in required frequencies in reality. In this paper, we will investigate the changes of the precision for the RUL prognosis on the example of a Tire Pressure Indication System (TPIS). After a possible layout with sensor requirements for a fully automated condition monitoring system has been developed in theory, we describe necessary data cleansing steps to account for environmental impacts on the system’s performance and to derive the system’s health status. With the help of a Monte Carlo (MC) simulation, we evaluate the system’s sensitivity towards changes in precision of the RUL for different measurement frequencies, prognostic models, and parameter settings. The results allow an estimation of the minimum pressure measurement frequency for a fully automated TPIS in order to obtain the required prognostic performance and to maximize cost efficiency.","PeriodicalId":113460,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE International Conference on Prognostics and Health Management (ICPHM)","volume":"61 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127433010","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, an anomaly detection system is proposed for multi-dimensional time series for aircraft engine. To represent the degradation degree of the device, the degradation index is proposed utilizing the Dynamic Time Warping algorithm (DTW) which possesses good similarity measure quality and can capture the changing characteristics of the indicator well. On the basis of the degradation index, three decision-making strategies including the Cumulative Sum algorithm (CUSUM), the Youden Index, and the Impact Factor are applied to determine the threshold values. For the threshold, two detection time points are obtained to discriminate different degradation stages in the device, in which the former refers to the initiation of degradation and the latter time point indicates that the device suffers from the anomaly. The experimental results demonstrate that all three decision strategies are able to detect system performance effectively before the device fails, which facilitates the incipient fault warning of aircraft engine in order to keep the equipment safe and reliable.","PeriodicalId":113460,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE International Conference on Prognostics and Health Management (ICPHM)","volume":"88 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134540706","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the clamps may get loosen due to wear over time, and if not detected, it will lead to catastrophic failures. Piezoelectric lead Zirconate Titanate (PZT) based active sensing methods have been widely used to monitor the looseness of the bolted structures. However, this method bears some drawbacks, e.g., saturation, electromagnetic interference and high cost. Therefore, Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) based sensing technology, which is robust to electromagnetic interference and easy for multiplexing, has been employed to design smart bolts and washers to monitor the preload of the bolted structures in existing literatures. However, the applications of those structures are limited due to specific customization, e.g. the distributed feature of the smart bolt is limited by the blind hole structure and the smart washer can only be used to the bolted connections with big-diameter bolts. To address these issues, a smart clamp is presented in present study. Moreover, the 3D printing technology is also investigated to fabricate FBG based smart clamps in a flexible and cost-effective way. A novel FBG based smart clamp is proposed in this work. The influence of different print layer heights, 0.15mm and 0.2mm on the sensitivity of clamp is also evaluated. It is shown that the 0.2mm height leads to a higher sensitivity than the 0.15mm height. Its application to incipient clamp looseness detection is further performed in an industrial piping system.","PeriodicalId":113460,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE International Conference on Prognostics and Health Management (ICPHM)","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124097910","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In order to generate added value for industrial use cases, two more steps are required: considering the machine’s time-varying operational conditions and integrating its dependent deterioration prediction in a holistic scheduling approach. This publication identifies a shortage of deterioration estimation frameworks under time-varying operational conditions as well as a lack of Predictive Maintenance integrated scheduling problems in the literature. Subsequently, a new conceptual framework to model future machine deterioration under time-varying operational conditions and its application in production scheduling is introduced. The Operation Specific Stress Equivalent (OSSE) represents the load of a future production job on the machine and supports a general formulation of the maintenance integrated job shop scheduling problem (MIJSSP). This formulation is presented together with benchmark instances and corresponding sample data. Finally, the formulation is tested with the help of a genetic algorithm that illustrates the potential of using new objective functions for decision support, such as the Reliability Weighted Makespan CmaxR.","PeriodicalId":113460,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE International Conference on Prognostics and Health Management (ICPHM)","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124306415","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Considering the multivalued test diagnosis problems of aircraft systems, this paper develops a multivalued test and diagnostic strategy optimization generation method based on rollout and information entropy. A rollout algorithm was combined with an information entropy algorithm to iteratively update information entropy and achieve balance between computational complexity and accuracy.
