This paper presents a novel deep learning approach for failure prognostics of rolling element bearings. The proposed approach has three unique features: (1) it employs a new data augmentation technique to improve the accuracy and robustness of RUL prediction in cases where a deep learning model only has access to a small amount of training data; (2) it incorporates a robust feature learning strategy that integrates a physics-based feature extraction process with a data-driven process; and (3) it implements a new similarity-based approach for effectively capturing the true degradation trend of each individual bearing unit. A practical case study involving run-to-failure experiments of rolling element bearings on the PRONOSTIA platform is provided to assess the performance of the proposed approach. Results from the case study show the proposed deep learning approach produced higher accuracy in RUL prediction than an existing machine learning approach.","PeriodicalId":113460,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE International Conference on Prognostics and Health Management (ICPHM)","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121840210","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}

The prediction of remaining life time of the air spring as one of the critical component of truck is the main goal of this research. A specific statistical model called mean residual life of Gompertz (MRL-Gompertz) has been considered to predict the remaining life time of the air spring, given that it has survived until a specific time. A set of sensors has been used to collect input variables for model. The time difference between start of usage and failure dates has been considered as life time of the air spring which is output of the model. The accuracy of the model prediction based on confusion matrix is more than 94%. This solution can be a basis for preventive maintenance because it reduces down time, vehicle off road (VOR) and use the components until the maximum life time before renewals takes place. It means huge saving in term of reducing cost of unplanned maintenance and increasing benefit by optimizing preventive maintenance.","PeriodicalId":113460,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE International Conference on Prognostics and Health Management (ICPHM)","volume":"63 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123469529","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}

After acquiring time-series degradation signals, namely Intrinsic Mode Functions (IMF), we can utilize the featured information as the input of Convolution layer of models. Here, we introduce an EMD-CNN model structure, which keeps the global and local information synchronously compared to a traditional CNN. In order to get a more accurate prediction, an ensemble model with several weighting methods are proposed, where the experiment indicates an improvement of performance.","PeriodicalId":113460,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE International Conference on Prognostics and Health Management (ICPHM)","volume":"98 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114941844","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, expressions of parts often have a wide range of variations, spawned by typos, ad hoc abbreviations, acronyms, and incomplete names. Normalization of such terms is crucial for many applications. Part names post a major challenge also because they tend to be in the form of multi-word terms. In this paper, we propose a novel normalization method UNAMER (Unification and Normalization Analysis, Misspelling Evaluation and Recognition). It is a general method for identifying term variants, including multi-word term variants, and normalizing them under a canonical name. UNAMER does not rely on a predefined set of canonical terms, which is often hard to obtain. Given a term, UNAMER first identifies candidate variants by exploiting contextual information. It then uses a supervised machine learning model, trained using easy-to-generate examples, that leverages both contextual and lexical features to predict actual variants from the candidates. UNAMER further extends its capability to normalize multi-word parts, such as part names like ‘lt pnl’, ‘letf pnl’ and ‘lft panal’ for ‘left panel’ using a specialized linguistically motivated term alignment approach. UNAMER has been deployed in practical applications to normalize part names in the aerospace domain. We will use examples from these real-life applications to demonstrate and illustrate results from UNAMER.","PeriodicalId":113460,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE International Conference on Prognostics and Health Management (ICPHM)","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125789529","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 the existing parameter-reconstruction method, the degradation trajectory of an in-situ unit is reconstructed by the weighted sum of that of historical units. However, this method requires an optimization problem to be solved for each new measurement, which leads to an excessively consumed time and does not satisfy the requirements of online prognostics and decisionmaking. In this paper, these weights are assumed as a set of probabilities, based on which they can be updated via Bayesian estimation, instead of solving the optimization problem at each observation epoch. To verify the proposed approach, a data set developed by a commercial simulation tool for aircraft turbofan engines is involved. In light of the implement situation of the proposed approach on this data set, the absolute error of the prognostics result and the consumed time for computation are significantly reduced compared with the existing approach.","PeriodicalId":113460,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE International Conference on Prognostics and Health Management (ICPHM)","volume":"580 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117067664","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}

Next, the method divides the variables (latent variables and sensors) into several groups by applying a hierarchical clustering method. Finally, it generates approximate equations of variables within each group. The generated equations can work as features to help users detect potential failures or estimate remaining useful life.
