For that, this paper proposes a variable-speed-condition fault diagnosis method with WSO-VMD and ResNet-SWIN. A signal reconstruction method with WSO-VMD was carried out, Firstly, the performance of VMD algorithm is improved by using war strategy optimization algorithm to select parameters adaptively. Then the signal is reconstructed considering the fault characteristic frequency, so as to realize the noise reduction of the signal. By using the residual network module and attention mechanism to replace the first stage of the original SWIN model, a novel ResNet-SWIN fault diagnosis model is established to enhance the feature extraction ability for the weak signal. The experiments with the constant-operating-condition and the variable-operating-condition are carried out to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method. The results show that, whether at variable-speed or constant-speed conditions, WSO algorithm has been proven to be the fastest convergence speed compared with WOA, SSA, and NGO optimization algorithms, and by the signal reconstruction with WSO-VMD, the variance evaluation indicator of the reconstructed signal has 36%, 21%, 46%, and 40%, respectively.

We use the non-homogeneous Poisson processes with different power law intensity functions to model the minimal repair processes for heterogeneous components. Since the component from the weak subpopulation may fail more frequently, the total number of minimal repairs can be used for establishing a screening rule. By screening, we can decide whether the component after burn-in should be eliminated or not. Considering the uncertainty of model parameters, we generate a minimally repaired data set of components by simulation. Then, we obtain the model parameters estimators by using Bayesian method combined with the existing data.

Considering the complexity of the product itself and the instability of the working environment, this study proposed a generalized reliability model for systems experiencing dependent competing failure processes (DCFPs) of degradation and random shocks, which considered two kinds of DCFP: (1) shock process could affect soft failure thresholds; (2) degradation process could affect hard failure thresholds. In case (1), we considered the effect that a cumulative number of shocks above a certain magnitude could have on the change in the soft failure threshold. In case (2), we considered not only the shock process's impact on the soft failure threshold but also the total degradation (including continuous degradation and sudden degradation caused by shock) on the hard failure threshold. The model captures the features that the shocks experienced by the system affect the degradation process, accelerating the system degradation and causing soft failures; the degradation process of the system affects the shock process, making the system more susceptible to failure from external shocks. Finally, an example using micro‐electro‐mechanical systems devices illustrates the effectiveness of the proposed approach with sensitivity analysis.","PeriodicalId":56088,"journal":{"name":"Quality and Reliability Engineering International","volume":"150 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140170019","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In light of this, this paper proposes a meta-action-based fault prediction method that effectively addresses the issue of limited fault data. Initially, the mechanical system is decomposed utilizing the “Function-Motion-Action” (FMA) methodology to derive individual meta-action units (MAUs). Subsequently, the limited sample of fault data from the mechanical system is combined with processed expert knowledge to construct the corresponding fault propagation-directed graph. Furthermore, the key MAUs are determined by applying the Decision–Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) method. Last, the degradation data of the key MAUs is acquired by monitoring them, and a non-homogeneous discrete grey model (DNGM) integrated with an improved BP neural network is proposed to facilitate the fault prediction of MAUs. Using an industrial robot as a case study, the prediction results demonstrate the superiority of the method proposed in this paper over a single gray model and neural network, thereby providing a reliable prediction approach for anticipating the future trends of data-deficient mechanical systems.","PeriodicalId":56088,"journal":{"name":"Quality and Reliability Engineering International","volume":"45 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140182313","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, studies indicate that some of the most devastating industrial accidents are attributable to poor safety perceptions of maintenance workers, especially during major overhauls, outages, shutdowns or turnarounds (MoOSTs). Typical MoOSTs involve the harmonisation of regular maintenance endeavours on a large scale, which in turn heighten risks of accidents and costs. Furthermore, MoOSTs are performed over short durations thereby necessitating parallel high‐risk activities by different organisations that have different perceptions of safety and possess different safety cultures. Understanding safety climate can immensely benefit MoOSTs organisations by improving the understanding of attitudes and perceptions that alleviate workplace incidents. This study aimed to establish safety climate that would boost safety culture and positively impact perceived safety performance during MoOSTs. Safety climate questionnaire survey was deployed to MoOSTs workers of leading cement plants in Nigeria. Through exploratory factor analysis, three underlying safety climate factors were identified, which helped to determine that factors such as ‛training and learning from incidents’, ‛commitment of senior management towards ensuring safety and its protocol development process’ and ‛effectiveness of incident reporting systems during MoOSTs’ were significant predictors of workers’ perceptions of safety performance. The findings also pointed out that the inter‐relationship between perceived safety performance, MoOSTs safety training and organisational commitment were positively correlated.","PeriodicalId":56088,"journal":{"name":"Quality and Reliability Engineering International","volume":"27 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140169884","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, vibration signals from bearings in practical equipment often contain excessive noise and redundant information, complicating health state assessment. To address this challenge, this paper proposes a neural network‐based method named parallel encoder‐decoder (PED). This method features a parallel architecture that combines the long short‐term memory network and the temporal convolutional network for the encoder, along with a self‐attention module for the decoder. PED is adept at learning the temporal representations hidden in original signals and filtering vibration signals to remove noise and redundant information. Additionally, a multi‐objective loss function is developed to enhance the prediction results. A normalized Mahalanobis distance‐based metric is then employed to compare residual signals during bearing operation with those under normal conditions. The case study evaluates the PED observer's proficiency in accurately predicting vibration signals and assessing the performance of health indicator curves, demonstrating the proposed PED observer's superiority over conventional networks.","PeriodicalId":56088,"journal":{"name":"Quality and Reliability Engineering International","volume":"85 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-03-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140155135","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
