The failure rate of wind farm is closely related to production rate and working time. The objective of this paper is to establish an economical energy production and imperfect maintenance plans minimizing the various costs incurred, taking into account the electricity demand variation, uncertainty of wind velocity, and the service level. The proposed maintenance strategy based on the priority and selective maintenance actions aims to choose the priority components for maintenance, while minimizing the total maintenance cost and ensuring a minimum reliability level for the wind turbine system. To achieve the latter goal, we formulate the reliability model of the wind turbine components by considering the influence of operating and environmental conditions. Numerical examples and sensitivity analyzes are presented to illustrate the significance and the effectiveness of the proposed methodology.","PeriodicalId":51266,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers Part O-Journal of Risk and Reliability","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2022-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90592530","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, visual inspection strongly depends on a human being’s experience, and so its accuracy is influenced by the physical and cognitive state of the inspector. Particularly, civil infrastructures need to be periodically inspected. This is costly, time-consuming, labor-intensive, hazardous, and biased. Advances in Computer Vision (CV) techniques provide the means to develop automated, accurate, non-contact, and non-destructive inspection methods. Hence, this paper compares two different approaches to detecting cracks in images automatically. The first is based on a traditional CV technique, using texture analysis and machine learning methods (TA + ML-based), and the second is based on deep learning (DL), using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) models. We analyze both approaches, comparing several ML models and CNN architectures in a real crack database considering six distinct dataset sizes. The results showed that for small-sized datasets, for example, up to 100 images, the DL-based approach achieved a balanced accuracy (BA) of ∼74%, while the TA + ML-based approach obtained a BA > 95%. For larger datasets, the performances of both approaches present comparable results. For images classified as having crack(s), we also evaluate three metrics to measure the severity of a crack based on a segmented version of the original image, as an additional metric to trigger the appropriate maintenance response.","PeriodicalId":51266,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers Part O-Journal of Risk and Reliability","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2022-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74661160","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, existing methods usually assume that the source and target domains have the same label domain space, but ignore the problem of label expansion in the target domain. The source domain of such problems lacks transferable knowledge of newly added health categories, so the domain invariant features extracted by the UDA model only have a large correlation with the source domain health categories, but lack the key features to distinguish the newly added health categories. We found that most of the diagnostic results of this type of samples are distributed at the decision boundary of the source domain health category, and this special distribution means that the newly added health category samples have a high amount of information. Therefore, this paper considers using active learning to select samples of newly added health categories in the target domain to assist model training, and proposes an active domain adaptation intelligent fault detection framework LDE-ADA to deal with the label expansion problem. Finally, on the rotating machinery dataset, the analysis and comparison are carried out through six transfer tasks. The results show that when there is one new health category, the accuracy of LDE-ADA will increase by about 9.39% in the case of labeling three samples per round and training for 20 rounds. Experiments show that this method is an effective method to deal with the label expansion problem.","PeriodicalId":51266,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers Part O-Journal of Risk and Reliability","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2022-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83342135","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This work develops a framework based on the combination of Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Machine Learning (ML) for the automatic classification of accidents with the final aim of assisting experts in performing road safety analyses. Two different models for the representation of the textual reports (Hierarchical Dirichlet Processes (HDPs) and Doc2vec) and three ML-based classifiers (Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs), Decision Trees (DTs) and Random Forests (RFs)) are compared. The framework is applied to a repository of road accident reports provided by the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Nevertheless, engineering systems operate in a more complicated shock environment due to developments, and it is worth studying the reliability of such multi-component systems in a variable shock environment. Driven by the research gaps and practical situations, this paper constructs a reliability model of multi-component systems under a generalized mixed shock model with a change point. The multi-state components operate in the shock environment I initially and it may continue to run in the shock environment II after the random change point of the environment. Two novel shock impact mechanisms of the variable environment are put forward, where a series of failure criteria based on shocks are included. Four different structures of multi-component systems are considered in this paper. It can be proved that the proposed mixed shock model is a generalization of some transformed models. A multi-stage finite Markov chain imbedding approach is established to derive the probabilistic indices of the components and entire systems. Based on the engineering applications, illustrative examples are provided to verify the effectiveness of the proposed model.","PeriodicalId":51266,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers Part O-Journal of Risk and Reliability","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2022-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80311691","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, a novel accident analysis approach based on Bayesian networks (BNs) was proposed to achieve quantitative accident analysis and dynamic risk prediction of accident types and consequences. To develop the BN-based accident analysis model, a total of 1144 accident cases occurred in tank farm of China from 1960 to 2018 were collected. The BN model that can comprehensively characterize the dependencies among accident elements was established through structural learning based on accident case analysis and parameter learning based on EM algorithm. The reliability and validity of the BN model were verified by k-fold cross-validation method and comparison of predicted data with real data, and the results showed that the BN model had good classification and prediction performance. Furthermore, the established BN model was applied to the accident occurred in Huangdao, China. The analysis results show that not only the accident outcome can be accurately predicted, but also the hidden correlation can be deeply explored through the established BN model. The proposed method and findings can provide technical reference for accident investigation and analysis, and provide decision support for accident prevention and risk management.","PeriodicalId":51266,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers Part O-Journal of Risk and Reliability","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2022-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73647206","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this context, accident investigation reports contain information that can support companies to propose preventive and mitigative measures and identify causes and consequences of injury events. However, this information is frequently complex, redundant, and/or incomplete. Additionally, a complete human review of the entire database is arduous, considering numerous reports produced by a company. Indeed, Natural Language Processing (NLP)-based techniques are suitable for analyzing a massive amount of textual information. In this paper, we adopted NLP techniques to determine whether an injury leave would be expected from a given accident report. The methodology was applied to accident reports collected from an actual hydroelectric power company using Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT), a state-of-art NLP method. The text representations provided by BERT model were combined with numerical and binary variables extracted from the accident reports. These combined variables are input to a Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) that predicts the occurrence of the accident leave for a given accident. After cross-validation, the results showed a median accuracy of 73.5%. Additionally, we discuss several reports that presented high and low proportions of correct classifications by the models tested and discussed the possible reasons. Indeed, accident investigation reports provide useful knowledge to support decisions in the safety context.","PeriodicalId":51266,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers Part O-Journal of Risk and Reliability","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2022-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76342651","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, the fault propagation path model (FPPM) is proposed for system-level decomposition and simplifying the process of fault propagation analysis by combining the improved ant colony optimization algorithm (I-ACO) with the Bayesian network (BN). In FPPM, the modeling of the fault propagation path consists of three models, namely shrinking model (SM), ant colony optimization model (ACOM), and assessment model (AM). Firstly, the state space is shrunk by the most weight supported tree algorithm (MWST) at the initial establishment stage of BN. Next, I-ACO is designed to improve the structure of BN in order to study the fault propagation path accurately. Finally, the experiment is conducted from two different perspectives for the rationality of the well-trained BN’s structure. An example of practical application for the propagation path model of typical faults on the A320 air turbine starter is given to verify the validity and feasibility of the proposed method.","PeriodicalId":51266,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers Part O-Journal of Risk and Reliability","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86807866","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
