Intelligent Fault Diagnosis and Prognosis for Engineering Systems

Expert guidance on theory and practice in condition-basedintelligent machine fault diagnosis and failure prognosis

Intelligent Fault Diagnosis and Prognosis for EngineeringSystems gives a complete presentation of basic essentials offault diagnosis and failure prognosis, and takes a look at thecutting-edge discipline of intelligent fault diagnosis and failureprognosis technologies for condition-based maintenance. Itthoroughly details the interdisciplinary methods required tounderstand the physics of failure mechanisms in materials,structures, and rotating equipment, and also presents strategies todetect faults or incipient failures and predict the remaininguseful life of failing components. Case studies are used throughoutthe book to illustrate enabling technologies.

Intelligent Fault Diagnosis and Prognosis for Engineering Systemsoffers material in a holistic and integrated approach thataddresses the various interdisciplinary components of thefield--from electrical, mechanical, industrial, and computerengineering to business management. This invaluably helpfulbook:
* Includes state-of-the-art algorithms, methodologies, andcontributions from leading experts, including cost-benefit analysistools and performance assessment techniques
* Covers theory and practice in a way that is rooted in industryresearch and experience
* Presents the only systematic, holistic approach to a stronglyinterdisciplinary topic
