Short Course: PHM Fundamentals
PHM Fundamentals: Monitoring/Sensing to Fault Diagnosis, Failure Prognosis, and Case Studies
Course Leaders: Dr. Karl Reichard and Jeff Bird
Course Administrator: Jeff Bird jeffbird@rogers.com
Overview
This introductory course offered regularly at PHM conferences will be taught by recognized international experts in the PHM field and will cover the current state of the art in PHM technologies, sensors and sensing strategies, data mining tools, CBM+ technologies, novel diagnostic and prognostic algorithms as well as a diverse array of application examples/case studies. It is addressed to engineers, scientists, operations managers, educators, small business principals and system designers interested to learn how these emerging technologies can impact their work environment. Through a lecture (with Q&A), networking and workshop format with several specialist experts, you will:
- Establish a baseline for defining the extent and capabilities of PHM, specifically needs and organization
- Identify specific details of PHM Applications (metrics, sensors, cost benefits, reliability) and PHM Methods (diagnostics, prognostics, data driven methods and uncertainty)
- Examine case studies of PHM applications across diverse domains to identify solutions and impacts
- Plan a PHM application in two mini workshop settings with expert group leaders
- Identify issues and needs and a way forward including Continuing Professional Development
Topics include (case study or workshop sessions):
- Introduction to PHM (Taxonomy, scope, basics, standards- for all talks)
- Deriving Requirements for PHM
- PHM Performance Metrics
- Diagnostics Methods
- Case Study for requirements/metrics (Description of an application)
- Prognostics Methods
- Data Analytics Methods
- Prognostics Case Studies (2 case studies for prognosis and data analytics information)
- Sensors and Data Processing (Available/Required data and organization)
- Data- Case Study Workshop (Small group data design activity with worksheets)
- CBM+ and IVHM Technologies
- PHM Cost Benefit Analysis
- Plenary- Issues and Needs (Review to compile collected issues from all participants)
- Analysis- Case Study Workshop (Small group activity builds on data design mini)
- Fielded Systems Case Studies-1 (case studies for CBM)
- Fielded Systems Case Studies-2 (case study for CBA)
- Way forward (Paths, Resources, Continuing Professional Development)
