Description
Industrial Prognostics predicts an industrial system’s lifespan using probability measurements to determine the way a machine operates. Prognostics are essential in determining being able to predict and stop failures before they occur. Therefore the development of dependable prognostic procedures for engineering systems is important to increase the system’s performance and reliability.
Diagnostics and Prognostics of Engineering Systems: Methods and Techniques provides widespread coverage and discussions on the methods and techniques of diagnosis and prognosis systems. Including practical examples to display the method’s effectiveness in real-world applications as well as the latest trends and research, this reference source aims to introduce fundamental theory and practice for system diagnosis and prognosis.
Reviews and Testimonials
Structural health monitoring (SHM) assesses the current ability of a structural component or system to perform its intended design function successfully, and prognostics extends the assessment to forecast remaining useful life. The 19 chapters in this volume describe techniques for diagnosing fault levels, modeling equipment degradation, monitoring systems intelligently, and scheduling maintenance according to condition rather than preset time intervals. The last two chapters approach structure reliability and response prognostics with Bayesian analysis and analytical approximation, and predict fatigue damage through indirect sensor measurements. The book will mainly be of interest to mechanical and industrial engineers.
