First, this paper analyzes the difference between non-probabilistic reliability methods and traditional probabilistic reliability methods, which makes the comparative analysis on aspects of the application scope of methods, the use of processes and the complexity of employment. Second, this paper introduces the basic concept of the convex model, as the interval model, the ellipsoid model and the multidimensional ellipsoid model are briefly presented. Third, this paper analyzes the use of information gap model of uncertainty, including the basic application of the model and the way to use. Finally, numerical example is given to illustrate the validity and efficiency of non-probabilistic reliability method. The example used herein is reliability analysis of fatigue strength of turbine blade, but it is also an important reference of other types of uncertainties systems. Compared with the probability approach, the non-probabilistic information gap model only requires a small amount of samples to obtain the variation bounds of the imprecise parameters, and whereby makes the reliability analysis very convenient and economical.","PeriodicalId":444815,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the IEEE 2012 Prognostics and System Health Management Conference (PHM-2012 Beijing)","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134434649","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}

Water molecular has distinct absorption bands in mid-infrared at section 3773~3509 cm-1, so it could be applied to the quantification of water in oil. And the research focused on the relationship between the absorption of mid-infrared spectrum and water content in mechanical oil. An experimental sample cell was designed to accomplish the experiment for the convenience of sample preparation and mounting in measurement, and it was manufactured to suit for FTIR spectrometer. We chose to prepare the sample oil by blending different amount of water into oil through titration. The spectra of oil in different water concentration were acquired and their integrals were calculated. The analysis to the experimental result shows that the functional relationship between the integral of spectrum in band 3773~3509 cm-1 and the percentage of water content in oil is a quadratic curve. The maximum relative error between the fitted quadratic curve and experimental data is at the level of 0.0449%. The research work in this paper presents the potential relationship existing that can be used for quantification of water content in oil through mid-infrared, and gives us an idea to design a kind of new sensor based on mid-infrared LED and photodiode to measure and warn people who monitor the abnormal variation of water content in different kind of oil used in marine-borne mechanical system.","PeriodicalId":444815,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the IEEE 2012 Prognostics and System Health Management Conference (PHM-2012 Beijing)","volume":"27 5","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114129093","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}

A new simulation assisted FMEA method is proposed to solve this problem and the detail procedure is introduced. Stress simulation is done to give the information of local stress and help to find more possible failure modes and weakness point. In order to evaluate the effect of some complicated failure modes, failure injection technology is used to simulate each failure's effect. Case study of FMEA of an aviation data processing device is performed. Results show that it will be helpful in finding more failures and properly evaluate their effect.","PeriodicalId":444815,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the IEEE 2012 Prognostics and System Health Management Conference (PHM-2012 Beijing)","volume":"92 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114565871","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}

Health assessment of solder interconnects assists in monitoring the degradation of electronic components and predicting their failure. This paper demonstrates the use of temperature as a health assessment tool for implementing prognostics and health management in electronic components. The degradation in varistor solder interconnects due to thermal fatigue damage is assessed using temperature rise. A constant current of 5 amps is passed through the components and the temperature across the solder interconnects is monitored. The temperature rise in the components is found to be directly proportional to the damage undergone by the components due to thermal fatigue. The temperature can thus be used as a means to assess the damage, enabling the health monitoring of the components.","PeriodicalId":444815,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the IEEE 2012 Prognostics and System Health Management Conference (PHM-2012 Beijing)","volume":"12 8","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132837024","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}

Fatigue is one of the most common failure modes in this material. Thus, monitoring of the fatigue damage in 16Mn steel is important for the health monitoring of these large engineering structures. In this paper, fatigue crack propagation tests were carried out for hot rolled and low temperature tempered 16Mn steels. Acoustic emission (AE) signals obtained from the fatigue tests were processed by wavelet packet transform (WPT) analysis. The energy distribution in each component of the AE signals was calculated for different specimens. Ratio of energy was extracted as a feature parameter. The results showed that the ratio of energy in each node was different in the hot rolled and low temperature tempered 16Mn steels respectively. The ratio of energy depended on the micro-structure. Based on the SEM fractography observations in this study, these results could be well explained by the different fatigue crack propagation mechanisms.","PeriodicalId":444815,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the IEEE 2012 Prognostics and System Health Management Conference (PHM-2012 Beijing)","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123622460","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}
