Various control strategies have been applied and designed for this nonlinear system with complex rotor dynamics. Most control schemes are in time domain, while the control in frequency domain, which is also essential for stability, is rarely considered. In this paper, a time-frequency domain control approach is proposed for AMB-rotor system. The control scheme is implemented using wavelet theory and deep learning theory. The controller consists of 2 main parts: a filter bank for discrete wavelet transform (DWT) to obtain time-frequency signal, and a deep neural network (DNN) for nonlinear adaptive control. A 4-DOF AMB-rotor system is analyzed and its model is established. The rotor dynamics are simulated and the results are compared. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed approach has an obvious control effect in improving precision in time domain and stability in frequency domain. This research provides a new adaptive control approach for AMBs, and this approach can also be adopted in other multi-dimension vibration control, especially in multi-frequency applications.","PeriodicalId":146533,"journal":{"name":"Volume 13: Safety Engineering, Risk, and Reliability Analysis; Research Posters","volume":"199 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122561963","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, in industrial maintenance activities such as, Major overhauls, outages, shutdowns and turnarounds (MoOSTs) there is scarcity of knowledge and experience, limiting the effectiveness of such failure analysis. Transformation of knowledgeable actions generated from experts’ tacit based knowledge from performing MoOSTs is encouraged. A key step to achieve such transformation is by prioritizing maintenance efforts by critically assessing relevant maintenance attributes. Criticality analysis of tasks is considered as an effective approach for prioritizing MoOSTs activities. This paper combines a traditional approach for analysing attributes of frequency and consequence factor values ranked by experts using a mathematical relationship to determine critical activities as well as a fuzzy logic system to develop a fuzzy inference system (FIS) for generating fuzzy criticality numbers of MoOSTs activities. In this regard, the traditional method qualitative criticality matrix, and boundary settings by experts provide baseline information for the FIS, to establish If-Then rules and map membership functions of two crisp inputs and output. Practical applicability is demonstrated using a Raw Mill System (RMS) from a cement manufacturing plant. The comparison of results from the two methods shows slight variations in criticality numbers, howbeit a consistent ability to capture critical MoOSTs activities. Moreover, the validity of results obtained by the fuzzy logic system is enhanced and more superior because it can demonstrate sensitivity.","PeriodicalId":146533,"journal":{"name":"Volume 13: Safety Engineering, Risk, and Reliability Analysis; Research Posters","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133716106","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 a highly competitive business environment, companies must increase their efficiency in the manufacturing process to support resilient business continuity. While OEE is widely used as a quantitative tool for measuring the performance of total productive maintenance (TPM), the IWS approach integrates equipment, processes, and involvement of people into a unified approach to reduce costs, improve quality, and increase productivity. Principally, there is an alignment between the two concepts. The IWS has the potential to maximize OEE to eliminate equipment failure and defects, minimizing downtime and maximizing productivity with less time, effort, and waste. The purpose of this work is to compare the performance of the OEE with the implementation of the IWS pillar, i.e., autonomous maintenance (AM). The rollout of the AM pillar was carried out on the two identical packaging machines (HLP1) with a speed of 120 packets per minute. The data which is shown in this paper is for both machines during the operational hours. Finally, the analysis showed positive results for both machines within a five-month period, with an increase of 27% and 15% in OEE, respectively. Later in the discussion, the root cause and SWOT analysis were perused for OEE and TPM, respectively, in this paper.","PeriodicalId":146533,"journal":{"name":"Volume 13: Safety Engineering, Risk, and Reliability Analysis; Research Posters","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134585614","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 railway vehicle design standards are significantly different throughout the world. Using carbody system as example, the popular standards include European standard system (EN), British standard GM/RT 2100, International Union of Railways (UIC) standard system, US standard system (AAR/APTA/ASME) and Japanese standard system (JIS). In addition, some country’s standard might have special requirement based on local conditions and culture. These various standards will inevitably present different carbody design requirements. Among the above standards, EN and US standards are applicable to Europe, China, and America, which are largest railway vehicle markets in the world. This paper will introduce the history and characteristics of the mainstream rail vehicle standards worldwide and analyze the relationship between standard and vehicle design. Light Rail Vehicle (LRV), subway and commuter rail vehicle (multi-level vehicle) are selected as typical examples for the interpretation and application of US standard and EN standard separately. The 3 major requirements of carbody design, including static strength, fatigue strength and crashworthiness, are compared between US and EN standards to specify the general difference as well as the influence on the carbody design, such as material distribution, structure development, which could provide valuable reference for researchers and engineers in the rail vehicle industry to define and design new products more efficiently across different country’s rail standards.","PeriodicalId":146533,"journal":{"name":"Volume 13: Safety Engineering, Risk, and Reliability Analysis; Research Posters","volume":"78 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123606448","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}

Light detection and ranging (LiDAR) sensors are seeing increased use in autonomous vehicles. However, the final implementation of the technology remains undetermined because major automotive manufacturers have just started selecting providers for data-collection units that can be introduced in commercial vehicles. Autonomous driving tests are, up to now, handled mostly in sunny environments, such as California or Texas. However, the quality of the detection under fog, rain and snow, especially if they are extreme, becomes severely degraded, especially regarding range. In this work the performance of LiDAR sensors under adverse weather conditions and the effects of LiDAR channels on object detection were investigated. Results showed that fog severely affected LiDAR performance. Rain also had a slight effect on performance, but snow did not affect LiDAR performance. Results also showed that both dense fog and heavy rain affected object and operating range detection by LiDAR sensors.","PeriodicalId":146533,"journal":{"name":"Volume 13: Safety Engineering, Risk, and Reliability Analysis; Research Posters","volume":"59 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127033411","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}

To improve reliability and reduce downtime, prediction of reliability in terms of thermal fatigue life under field conditions is important, as is the use of load and health monitoring data from the field in cases of performance degradation during use, maintenance, and field failure. The fatigue life of solder joints is also affected by whether the load history waveform is symmetric or asymmetric. In this paper, we propose a novel health monitoring method for thermal fatigue failure corresponding to time-dependent inelastic strain response, such as in asymmetric cycles, by use of a surrogate model obtained by a finite element method-based thermal stress simulation. We applied this method to an insulated-gate bipolar transistor power module capable of monitoring module temperature, electrical performance, and number of revolutions of the cooling fan. With the proposed method, inelastic strain cycles and thermal fatigue life distribution of solder joints could be estimated from their temperature monitoring history. The method was judged to be useful for assessing thermal load histories and estimating thermal fatigue life in prognostic health monitoring.","PeriodicalId":146533,"journal":{"name":"Volume 13: Safety Engineering, Risk, and Reliability Analysis; Research Posters","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126747184","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}

Recently, there has been increased interest on how differences in cargo loading affect crash kinematics. This paper demonstrates that at a particular speed, increases in the vehicle cargo weight can influence the magnitude of the vehicle deformation. Larger deformations may involve greater intrusion into the occupant space. This increased intrusion may adversely affect the injury potential for the occupant by reducing survivable space and overcoming safety features. Additionally, an accident reconstructionist may need to consider the difference in cargo loading and distribution when calculating specific accident characteristics in their analyses. For example, the kinetic energy change between loaded and unloaded conditions is a feature of interest during vehicle collisions. These concepts were validated using Engineering Dynamic Company’s (EDC) Human, Vehicle, Environment (HVE) accident reconstruction software. The HVE analysis included simulating impacts of vehicles with varying cargo loads; HVE was also used to visualize the concepts described above. The case studies will have approximately similar BEV’s, crash speeds and other vehicle characteristics.","PeriodicalId":146533,"journal":{"name":"Volume 13: Safety Engineering, Risk, and Reliability Analysis; Research Posters","volume":"189 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132402255","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}

To facilitate the development of such technologies, test payload architectures must be designed to safely deliver experimental components to the environments they are expected to perform in. The purpose of this project was to design, analyze, assemble, and launch a payload enclosure system as part of a collaborative experiment involving SHM by New Mexico Tech and distributed data acquisition by Immortal Data Inc. Particular attention was given to the integration of the hardware pertaining to the SHM experiment. This experiment monitors the condition of a cantilever beam throughout the flight using an electro-mechanical impedance method. The enclosure mount was designed to tolerate the vibrational, thermal, and g-loads experience in suborbital flight. With these criteria in mind, ULTEM 1010, an industrial strength 3D printing material, was chosen due to its significant yield strength and low density when compared to other 3D printing material and aluminum candidates. To determine whether or not the tolerances and requirements are sufficiently met, finite element analysis of the payload structure was performed in COMSOL Multiphysics and Solidworks. Stresses due to acceleration loads, de-spinning events, and ground impact were evaluated and safety factors were determined. To enable the electro-mechanical impedance diagnostics, a thin piezoelectric wafer sensor was bonded to the beam and connected to a miniaturized impedance analyzer. This system allowed for local storage of the electro-mechanical impedance data. Validation of this experimental setup was performed in laboratory conditions in which the impedance of the beam was measured in several frequency bands. Based on dynamic characteristics of the beam, low frequency bandwidth was selected for impedance analysis. Numerical studies confirm the enclosure design’s validity and the possibility of electro-mechanical impedance diagnostics of the payload.","PeriodicalId":146533,"journal":{"name":"Volume 13: Safety Engineering, Risk, and Reliability Analysis; Research Posters","volume":"106 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128192753","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}

We assert that efficacy of protection is governed by maintenance policy that includes system modification, maintenance inter-arrivals as a function of time, and upset inter-arrivals as a function of time; we further assert that such a maintenance policy is the one used in nuclear power plant protective systems. Observations described in this article bear on the impact of time-dependent activities, associated with maintenance policy, as they relate to endogenous and exogenous upset inter-arrival times. We describe why methods evaluating maintenance policy reliant on combinatorial logic, such as Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA), fault trees, or event trees, may lead to ineffective maintenance policy decision-making for protective system efficacy, and we show why this is true. Recommendations for maintaining effective protections, and connections to engineering maintenance practice and regulations are made based on the implications that come from our observations. The importance of the issues described is that relationship of design, maintenance, and repair policies must be properly understood and taken into account by process owners, operators, and investors as well as regulators, who manage protections in hazardous processes.","PeriodicalId":146533,"journal":{"name":"Volume 13: Safety Engineering, Risk, and Reliability Analysis; Research Posters","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133914709","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}
