{"title":"A Novel Hybrid Strategy for Multimode Operation Mapping and Feature Extraction on Data-Driven Statistical Fault Detection Methods","authors":"Horacio Pinzón, Cinthia Audivet, J. Alexander, M. J. Torres, M. Consuegra, M.

Otherwise conducted, a deficient feature extraction procedure leads to a monitoring structure widely deviated from normal operating conditions. If an operating state is not identified as it, an increment in false alarm rate would be evidenced whenever the process shifts towards that condition and the monitoring scheme triggers the abnormal condition warning. On the other hand, if two similar operating conditions could not be individualized i.e. to be identified as a single operating state, a lack of sensitivity for minor — yet typical — deviations would render a monitoring strategy with prominent misdetection rates.\u0000 Although Multimode Operational Mapping requires the proper identification of a finite set of normal process states, it is a challenging task especially for large-scale systems. Its complexity derives from a broad universe of monitoring variables, highly interactuating process units integrated over very dynamic network systems, among others. This is the case of natural gas transmission infrastructure, as it deals with variable upstream production rates, diverse consumption trends from customers, internal processes constrains, merged in a stringent operating scheme.\u0000 This paper proposes a novel strategy to address the identification and feature extraction of normal conditions on multimode operation systems. The proposed framework uses a segmentation approach based on operator’s knowledge, the Takagi-Sugeno-Kang fuzzy engine and k-means algorithm to characterize the normal operation states of the system. The results show an improvement in the performance of Principal Component Analysis during abnormal conditions detection, in addition an increase on the sensitivity of Hotelling and Q statistics.","PeriodicalId":201128,"journal":{"name":"Volume 13: Design, Reliability, Safety, and Risk","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123955550","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}

{"title":"Method of Construction for High Cycle Fatigue Resistant Pressure Vessels in Hydrogen Service","authors":"Pooya Mahmoudian","doi":"10.1115/IMECE2018-86292","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1115/IMECE2018-86292","url":null,"abstract":"Currently, pressure vessels that operate in hydrogen service and subjected to fatigue must be designed using a defect tolerant design procedure. This means that first the fracture mechanics properties of the material being considered must be measured in hydrogen at the maximum service pressure. The properties are fatigue crack propagation properties and threshold stress intensity factor for hydrogen embrittlement (KIHE). With these properties, a fatigue crack propagation life can be estimated assuming an initial crack size and geometry and growing this defect to failure. The property measurements are costly and can only be performed at a few laboratories. Furthermore, the resulting lives are usually very short because of the assumed initial crack size. These things limit the application of this design method to lower cycle or static loading applications. This work introduces a cost-effective method of design and construction of pressure vessels for high cycle use in hydrogen service at pressures below 40,000 psi that eliminates the need for determining fracture mechanics properties in hydrogen environment. The method uses shrink fit construction of a liner inside a jacket. The method requires that when the pressure is applied, the magnitude of the resultant stress at the pressure boundary of the liner is more compressive than the magnitude of the applied pressure and the maximum allowed size of defect in the jacket at the interface between the jacket and the liner is such that when the cyclic stress is applied the resultant fatigue loading of that defect at that location to be less than the threshold value for growth of that defect.","PeriodicalId":201128,"journal":{"name":"Volume 13: Design, Reliability, Safety, and Risk","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116743105","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 proposed methodology lumps the effects of wheel slip and load transfer during straight-line braking into ‘equivalent inertia’ on the wheels. This inertia profile could then be imported on a dynamometer interface and realized using suitable inertia discs and an electric motor. Equivalent inertia was computed from test datasets obtained from a Hardware-in-Loop (HiL) experimental system consisting of an air brake system and IPG TruckMaker®, a vehicle dynamic simulation software. These datasets were obtained for various road, vehicle load and braking conditions. This framework would facilitate the evaluation of wheel slip regulation algorithms using a brake dynamometer by capturing necessary dynamics of HCRVs during braking. It is expected that such testing can be placed between HiL and on-road tests, and would provide greater confidence in Active Safety Systems (ASSs) before their deployment on vehicles.","PeriodicalId":201128,"journal":{"name":"Volume 13: Design, Reliability, Safety, and Risk","volume":"17 4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126088918","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}

Rotating machinery is a widely used equipment and any failure of critical components within the machinery could lead to delays and large expenses. Failure of rotary seal is one of the foremost causes of breakdown in rotary machinery and such a failure can affect the other process operations in oil and gas plants. Assessing seal degradation and severity estimation are very important for maintenance decision-making. Extracting meaningful and sensitive features that can show seal degradation from raw signals is a challenging task of degradation assessment. However, no extensive works are dedicated in this area of seals. In this paper, we perform accelerated aging and testing to capture the behavior of seals through their cycle of operation and demonstrated a statistical time domain feature based approach for extracting the sensitive features that can show seal degradation. Out of eleven statistical features extracted, seven extracted features such as mean, RMS, maximum, squared mean rooted absolute amplitude, impulse factor, crest factor, margin factor are found to be significant factors which have a potential to differentiate severity levels in seals. The findings from our work show that our approach has a potential to assess the severity in seals. As a possible extension, extracted features can be used to build a classification model to classify severity in seals which could be of great interest to the users and manufacturers of rotary seals.","PeriodicalId":201128,"journal":{"name":"Volume 13: Design, Reliability, Safety, and Risk","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127905881","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 utilization of high-performance composite materials is an important way to achieve lightweight vehicles technically. The advantages of using thermoplastic composite wheels are: easy to form, high manufacturing efficiency, low cost and easy to recycle. This leads to broader application prospects. Taking composite anisotropy into consideration, the mechanical performance of a wheel made of long glass fiber reinforced thermoplastic (LGFT), is analysed using the finite element method (FEM). This is done by placing the wheel under a bending fatigue load simulation. According to the simulation results, the sample database is established by orthogonal experimental method on the Isight platform, and the approximate model is established by the Response Surface Methodology (RSM). Based on this model, uncertainty optimization analysis is then conducted on the wheel’s design using Sigma Principle whereby the optimization target is the mass minimization. The maximum deformation of the wheel and the stress on both sides of the spoke will serve as constraint conditions and the key dimension parameters of the wheel model will be taken as the design variables. The uncertainty optimization is based on the Sigma criterion, taking into consideration the wheel’s geometry and property-fluctuation materials. The feasibility of design schemes is then verified after comparison analysis between the optimization results and the simulation results obtained. The result shows that compared with deterministic optimization, though the weight of the wheel has slightly increased, the uncertainty optimization based on the Sigma criterion is much more robust and the reliabilities of the three constraints are all above 6 Sigma. The resulting optimized LGFT wheel weighs 5.28kg, which has a 5.5% more loss in weight than the initial target and is also 25.6% lighter than the counterpart wheel which is made of aluminum alloy. The desired design results is now achieved with this lightweight effect.","PeriodicalId":201128,"journal":{"name":"Volume 13: Design, Reliability, Safety, and Risk","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114867783","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}

Then, the dynamic mechanical properties of MPH specimens under strain rates from 800 s−1 to 2000 s−1 were investigated by Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) experiments.

Their catastrophic failure due to fluctuating working conditions leads to unscheduled breakdown and increases accidental economical losses. Thus these issues have triggered a need for reliable and automatic prognostics methodology which will prevent a potentially expensive maintenance program. Accordingly, Remaining Useful Life (RUL) prediction based on artificial intelligence is an attractive methodology for several researchers. In this study, data-driven condition monitoring approach is implemented for predicting RUL of bearing under a certain load and speed. The approach demonstrates the use of ensemble regression techniques like Random Forest and Gradient Boosting for prediction of RUL with time-domain features which are extracted from given vibration signals. The extracted features are ranked using Decision Tree (DT) based ranking technique and training and testing feature vectors are produced and fed as an input to ensemble technique. Hyper-parameters are tuned for these models by using exhaustive parameter search and performance of these models is further verified by plotting respective learning curves. For the present work FEMTO bearing data-set provided by IEEE PHM Data Challenge 2012 is used. Weibull Hazard Rate Function for each bearing from learning data set is used to find target values i.e. projected RUL of the bearings. Results of proposed models are compared with well-established data-driven approaches from literature and are found to be better than all the models applied on this data-set, thereby demonstrating the reliability of the proposed model.","PeriodicalId":201128,"journal":{"name":"Volume 13: Design, Reliability, Safety, and Risk","volume":"55 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126501054","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}
