At the same time, the product under cyclic load may suffer from low-energy impact during the whole service life. For its discontinuity, the low-energy impact does not lead to the product failure immediately. The low-energy impact not only cause structural damage and the residual strength degradation instantly but also influence the effect of cyclic load. And cyclic load has the same effect for structural in return. This article shows an approach for fatigue life prediction based on continuum damage mechanics with coupling relationship between fatigue damage and impact damage. First, the features and coupling relationships of fatigue damage and impact damage are discussed in this essay and both of them result in a drop in residual strength of structure. Second, the initial stress response under impact and fatigue loads were obtained. The existed evolution equations of fatigue and impact damage were respectively introduced. Third, based on these damage evolution equations, a new coupling damage model for fatigue damage and impact damage has been established and the damage and residual strength evolution of the structure is proposed. Finally, an engineering case is introduced to validate the approach.","PeriodicalId":202597,"journal":{"name":"2016 Prognostics and System Health Management Conference (PHM-Chengdu)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128805153","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}

According to SLA (Service-Level Agreement), the demand on service reliability and other related indexes are put forward. Despite efforts at fault tolerance and redundancy, the occurrence of failure in data center is still inevitable. Hence, there is a need to model and analyze the service reliability of data center. However, traditional method of reliability modeling is no longer applicable because of the complicated cloud control flows, massive-scale service sharing, and complexity real-word infrastructures. This paper proposes a new approach to model the service reliability of the IT infrastructure of active-active data center, which is a typical form of cloud data center. Firstly, we divide the process of service delivery into two stages — the request stage and execution stage. Then, two models are built for two stages, respectively. For request stage, we use the Queuing Theory and Monte Carlo Method while for execution stage, the Graph Theory and Monte Carlo Method are adopted. Based on the proposed model, the service reliability of data center can be calculated. With the data of a company active-active data center as a case study, we finally demonstrate the applicability and correctness of the model.","PeriodicalId":202597,"journal":{"name":"2016 Prognostics and System Health Management Conference (PHM-Chengdu)","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122217801","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 that it has complicated structures and relative motions, its dynamic responses are much more complex. It is difficult to analyze its internal and real situation when there exist faults on its surface. Many dynamic models have been established to study its dynamic responses when having a crack on one of teeth. However, most of models are built based on the assumption that the crack propagation path is simplified as a straight line, and it results in obvious deviation on the dynamic responses. In this paper, a rigid-flexible coupled model is established for a one-stage planetary gearbox. In this model, the sun is set as a flexible body and the whole planetary gearbox is a rigid object. The tooth crack propagations are simulated along both the tooth width and the crack depth that can be respectively described as two parabolas. Different crack sizes on one gear tooth are simulated in ADAMS and the dynamic responses are then generated. Based on these, five commonly used statistical indicators, i.e. peak-to-peak, mean, root mean square (RMS), kurtosis, and energy are used to investigate the relationship between the different crack sizes and the response. The results show that RMS and energy are more sensitive to the growth of tooth crack for propagation whatever along the tooth width and the crack length. The frequency spectra also indicate that sidebands caused by the tooth crack obviously change with the crack growing. It provides a reference for studying the dynamic response and crack assessment of the planetary gearbox.","PeriodicalId":202597,"journal":{"name":"2016 Prognostics and System Health Management Conference (PHM-Chengdu)","volume":"62 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116785069","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}

Current reliability analysis for systems based on failure dependence mainly focus their views on either failure level or failure process level, but barely from the aspect of failure mechanism. Our previous work used Mechanism Failure Tree (MFT) to show the correlation of failure mechanisms directly, but it is unavailable to express the dynamic flow of failure states. This paper proposed a modeling method of dependence of failure mechanism based on Petri net for electronic systems. Compared with MFT, the dynamic characteristics of failure mechanisms can be indicated effectively. In this paper, the models based on Petri net of four basic dependence of failure mechanisms which is utilized to generate the Petri net model of dependence of failure mechanism for a practical system have been given. And a case of a simple electronic system has been studied in the final part in order to illuminate the process of modeling.","PeriodicalId":202597,"journal":{"name":"2016 Prognostics and System Health Management Conference (PHM-Chengdu)","volume":"77 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134020838","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 such system, the condition data that have the increasing or decreasing trend are desirable. This article provides a combination of entropy and improved permutation entropy to select the condition data based on quantitative description of sensor data monotonic trend.

Especially in the era of big data, the large number of data could be collected from the product life cycle easily, these high-dimensional big data always bear many un-correlation noise information, which has caused serious problem that not only the accuracy may not be remarkable, but also the model-training time may be redundant to most of the current small data-driven method. Furthermore, traditional small data oriented analytic techniques are not applicable to the new big data environment. In order to solve this dilemma, this paper proposed a new method to identify the root cause of infant failure from the big data using the principal component analysis (PCA) and support vector machine (SVM). Firstly, data collected from design, manufacturing, and usage related to product infant failure mechanism has been divided into training data and test data. Secondly, PCA is applied to eliminate redundancy and reducing data dimension of original process feature parameters from raw data in low-dimensional space so that the key variables as the potential root cause candidates can be extracted. Thirdly, an SVM-based optimal hyper-plane to separate these candidates' features data is presented, and one-versus-all SVM classifier is designed to identify the final list of the root cause for infant failure by radial basis kernel function. Finally, the feasibility and validity of the proposed methods are demonstrated through a case study of computer board failure analysis.","PeriodicalId":202597,"journal":{"name":"2016 Prognostics and System Health Management Conference (PHM-Chengdu)","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133701795","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}

And three major goals for PHM system, including health assessment, fault diagnosis and remaining useful life prediction, are achieved by combining different algorithms. However, the challenges for industry are how to efficiently select appropriate tools to develop a suitable PHM solution and how to quickly demonstrate PHM concepts for different applications. The concept of a reconfigurable algorithm toolset titled the Watchdog Agent® for PHM was first presented in 2003 and now is a commercialized toolbox in LabVIEW. The Watchdog Agent® toolbox consists of selected tools/algorithms from four categories: signal processing, health assessment, fault diagnosis and remaining useful life prediction. LabVIEW, a system design software developed by National Instruments, has been used for measurement, testing, control and data analytics in various areas including wind energy, automobile manufacturing, aerospace, etc. This paper first presents an introduction about Watchdog Agent® (WDA) Toolkit and then provides a systematic approach for PHM solutions development in LabVIEW environment.

A two-step data-driven framework is here proposed to tackle this problem. A general model is trained traditionally on all fleet data and a correction model is built to estimate the deviation of the general model outcome from the degradation process of the specific asset of interest.
