Normally, measured values are compared with a fixed threshold. If these measured values are outside the predefined limits, the entire hydraulic system is usually shut down. To overcome this deficit, a study regarding a novel prognostic health management method for aircraft hydraulic pumps, which allows a statement about the pump condition, is presented in this paper. The method is based on measuring differential pressure and temperature at a suitable resistance. In the first part of the study, the overall concept for monitoring the motor pump unit is analyzed. This is followed by a discussion of possible measurement methods and suitable resistors to determine the condition of the pump. In the second part of the study, the implementation for online monitoring of the pump is discussed. After a suitable approximation is found, the quality of the proposed method is evaluated with real hydraulic power generation and consumers.","PeriodicalId":422825,"journal":{"name":"PHM Society European Conference","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132490549","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}

On the other side, in the small diesel engine domain, the current trend is to lean on traditional anomaly detection/classification procedures and do not foster the use of AI. The goal of this work is to detect anomalies in the in-cylinders injectors of a small diesel engine as soon as a wrong quantity of fuel is inputted into one or more cylinders by means of ML approaches. Part of the analysis aim to understand which measurements are the most relevant for the detection and to compare different techniques to select the most suitable one. Furthermore, a condition-based methodology for maintenance is proposed. After a brief review of the state-of-the-art, the case study scenario is presented grouping sensors accordingly to their degree of accessibility; then, the implemented techniques are explained, and results are discussed.","PeriodicalId":422825,"journal":{"name":"PHM Society European Conference","volume":"109 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127665450","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}

Uncertainty quantification has been gaining interest especially for deep learning models, which are often hard to justify or explain. Various techniques for deep learning based uncertainty estimates have been developed primarily for image classification and segmentation, but also for regression and forecasting tasks. Uncertainty quantification for anomaly detection tasks is still rather limited for image data and has not yet been demonstrated for machine fault detection in PHM applications.\u0000In this paper we suggest an approach to derive an uncertaintyinformed anomaly score for regression models trained with normal data only. The score is derived using a deep ensemble of probabilistic neural networks for uncertainty quantification. Using an example of wind-turbine fault detection, we demonstrate the superiority of the uncertainty-informed anomaly score over the conventional score. The advantage is particularly clear in an ”out-of-distribution” scenario, in which the model is trained with limited data which does not represent all normal regimes that are observed during model deployment.","PeriodicalId":422825,"journal":{"name":"PHM Society European Conference","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128076197","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}

They may also become unavailable due to maintenance activities or failure through time. It is, therefore, important to correct faulty signal or replace missing sensors with estimated values for improved diagnostic solutions. Coping with a small number of sensors is the most difficult to achieve since this often leads to underdetermined and indistinguishable diagnostic problems in multiple fault scenarios. On the other hand, installing additional sensors has been a controversial issue from cost and weight perspectives. Gas path locations with difficult conditions to install sensors is also among other sensor installation related challenges. This paper proposes a sensor fault/failure correction and missing sensor replacement method. Auto-regressive integrated moving average models are employed to correct measurements from faulty and failed sensors. To replace additional sensors needed for further diagnostic accuracy improvements, neural network models are devised. The performance of the developed approach is demonstrated by applying to a three-shaft turbofan engine. Test results verify that the method proposed can well-recover measurements from faulty/failed sensors, no matter with small or major failures. It can also compensate key missing temperature and pressure measurements on the gas path based on the data from other available sensors.","PeriodicalId":422825,"journal":{"name":"PHM Society European Conference","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122182781","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 ability to estimate the future health status of these systems and their components becomes more pivotal when seeking to efficiently operate and maintain these systems. Today, these stakeholders have access to a lot of different data sources regarding fleet, operation schedule, ambient condition, system and component information. Many different prognostic methods from different disciplines are available and will further improve henceforward. In many cases these data sources and methods function as isolated methods in their own field. This fragmentation makes a holistic prognosis very challenging in many cases. Therefore, stakeholders need information integrating methods and tools to gain an exhaustive insight into the health status development of the complex assets they are operating or maintaining, in order to make well-founded decisions regarding operation or maintenance planning. In this paper, a Python-based health index framework is presented. It enables users to integrate operation schedules of different detail levels with enriching data sources such as ambient condition data. Furthermore, it provides methods to design complex asset systems which are linked via their construction, function or degradation mechanisms/ health indices via transfer relations. It allows to monitor the asset’s condition based on operation data and to simulate different operation scenarios regarding the health index development.","PeriodicalId":422825,"journal":{"name":"PHM Society European Conference","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134156156","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}

Gryllias","doi":"10.36001/phme.2022.v7i1.3348","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.36001/phme.2022.v7i1.3348","url":null,"abstract":"Early and accurate detection of rolling element bearing faults in rotating machinery is important for minimizing production downtime and reducing unnecessary preventative maintenance. Several fault detection methods based on signal processing and machine learning methods have been proposed. Particularly, supervised, data-driven approaches have proved to be very effective for fault detection and diagnostics of rolling element bearings. However, supervised methods rely heavily on the availability of failure data with volume, variety and veracity, which is mostly unavailable in industry. As an alternative data-driven strategy, unsupervised methods are trained on healthy data only and do not require any failure data.\u0000In contrast to supervised and un-supervised data-driven models, physics-based and phenomenological models are based on domain knowledge and not on historical data. Although these models are useful for studying the way in which damage is expected to manifest in a measured signal, they are difficult to calibrate and often lack the fidelity required to model reality. In this paper, an unsupervised data-driven anomaly detection method that exploits informative domain knowledge is proposed. Hereby, the versatility of unsupervised data-driven methods are combined with domain knowledge.\u0000In this approach, supplementary training data is generated by augmenting healthy data towards its possible future faulty state based on the characteristic bearing fault frequencies. Both healthy and augmented squared envelope spectrum data is used to train an autoencoder model that includes regularisation designed to constrain the latent features at the autoencoder bottleneck. Regularisation in the autoencoder loss enforces that the expected deviation of the healthy latent representation towards the augmented latent representation at dam aged conditions, is constrained to be maximally different for different fault modes. Consequently, the likelihood of a new test sample being healthy can be evaluated based on the projection of the sample onto an expected failure direction in the latent representation.\u0000A phenomenological and experimental dataset is used to demonstrate that the addition of augmented training data and a specialized autoencoder loss function can create a separable latent representation that can be used to generate interpretable health indicators.","PeriodicalId":422825,"journal":{"name":"PHM Society European Conference","volume":"160 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116157255","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, widely employed time- and frequency-domain features are insufficient to recognize the global pattern that indicates the structure of a time-series instance. In this paper, we propose two novel graph-based features which reflect the connection strength and degree of time series, respectively. First, we construct a graph of which an edge is defined as the Euclidean distance between each pair of time steps to measure the strengths of connections between the nodes. The other graph is constructed by the visibility algorithm, which converts a time series into a complex network to reflect the degrees of connections. Then, we calculate the Frobenius norms of the adjacency matrices of both graphs and use them as features for bearing fault diagnosis. To verify the proposed features, we performed several experiments with both synthetic and real datasets. From the synthetic datasets, it is observed that the changes in amplitudes and frequencies are detected by the features for the connection strength and degree, respectively. In addition, the proposed features also well-separate the distributions of each bearing state, including normal and several fault types, and show significant performance improvement as applied to the fault diagnosis task.","PeriodicalId":422825,"journal":{"name":"PHM Society European Conference","volume":"77 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123902618","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 choose an optimal set of sensors, the method evaluates the sets in terms of costs and diagnostic robustness. The proposed fault detection, isolation and identification schemes rely on the robust evaluation of model-based residuals using Monte-Carlo methods and highest density regions to account for measurement and parameter uncertainty.
