Outline

Who is the Customer

• The maintainer – Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul of Critical Systems

• The operator/pilot – Awareness and corrective action under safety critical conditions

• The operations manager/field commander – What is my confidence that I can deploy a particular asset for a specific mission/task?

• The system designer – How do I take advantage of CBM/PHM technologies to design high-confidence, fault-tolerant systems?

Imperatives for New Automated Maintenance ParadigmsBreakdowns, Unscheduled Maintenance, and Temporary Repairs-

add Billions to Manufacturing Costsdestroy throughput and Due Date schedules

Reduced manning levels in Factory Of The Future, Military, NaviesComplexity of new machinery makes maintenance more complexReduced failure tolerance of Just-in-Time systemsSmall companies cannot afford full-time maintenance techniciansReady availability of on-board sensors used for control purposesEase of remote information access over the internet

Old Paradigm- open loop, no feedback of machine condition

Preventive MaintenancePeriodic, whether needed or not

Run-to-FailureNo maintenance

Two Extremes of Manpower & Resource Waste

ObjectivesExtend equipment lifetimeReduce down timeKeep throughput and due dates on track – mission criticalityUse minimum of maintenance personnelMaximum uptime for minimum effective maintenance costsCBM should be transparent to the user

No extra maintenance for the CBM network!Determine the best time to do maintenance

Efficiently use maintenance & repair resourcesDo not interfere with machine usage requirements

Allow planning for maintenance costsNo unexpected last-minute costs!

Phase I- Preliminary Off Line Studies

Why Motors Fail?Bearing Failures:Bearing Failures:– Root cause of ~ 50%Motor Failures– Effect: Motor burn out– Sources: Improper Lubrication, Shaft Voltages, Excessive Loadings

Excessive Vibrations:Excessive Vibrations:– Effect: bearing failures, metal fatigue of parts and windings– Sources: Usually caused by improper balance of rotating part

Electrical Problems:Electrical Problems:– Effect: Higher than normal current, overheating– Sources: Low Voltages, Unbalanced 3-Phase Voltages

Mechanical Problems:Mechanical Problems:– Effect: Bearing failures, overheating– Sources: Excessive Load and Load Fluctuations result in more current

Maintenance issues:Maintenance issues:– Sources: Inadequate regular maintenance, lack of preventive maintenance, lack of

Sensor Selection

• Existing OEM sensors

• Used e.g. for Control

• Add extra DSP – Virtual Sensors

• Add additional sensors for CBM/PHM

Feature Selection

• What to measure to get information about the fault?

SENSOR SELECTION AND PLACEMENT

• Objective: Determine the optimum type and placement of sensors

• Current Status:Ad hoc;heuristic methods;Mostly “an art”

• Future Direction: Put some “science” into the problem


Diagnostics

• Model-Based Methods

• Non-Model-Based – Data-Based

Fault Mode Analysis

Use Physics of Failure and Failure Models to select failure features to include in feature vectors

Select Fault ID Feature Vector

Dempster-Shafer Example

Suppose there are 100 cars in a parking lot consisting of type A (red) and B (green). Two policemen count the type of cars in the lot. • First policeman m1 says that there are 30 A cars and 20 B cars. • Second policeman m2 says that there are 20 A cars and 20 cars that could A or B.

0.06m2(A) 0.2

m1(θ)0.5

m1(A)0.3

So there are between 42 and 83 cars of type Abetween 17 and 58 cars of type B

Bel(A)=m12(A)=0.42. (42 A cars)Bel(B)=m12(B)=0.17. (17 B cars)

Pl(A)= m12(A)+m12(AB)+m12(θ)=0.83. (83 A cars)Pl(B)= m12(B)+m12(AB)+m12(θ)=0.58. (58 B cars)

The Confidence Prediction Neural Network (CPNN)

• For CPNN, each node assigns a weight (degree of confidence) for an input X and a candidate output Yi.

• Final output is the weighted sum of all candidate outputs.

Effect of angular shift of the planets on the model spectrum

• “Ideal” system presents sidebands only at frequencies that are integer multiples of the number of planets

• By “Ideal” meaning that the planets are evenly spaced with zero tolerance

The decrease of the dominant frequency as well as the other apparent frequencies and the increase of the rest may be a good sign of the crack growth, and may be quantified as features for fault diagnosis and prognosis purposes.
