Journal ArticleDOI

Ordering Heuristics for Reliability Evaluation of Multistate Networks

TL;DR: The results show that the proposed ordering heuristics can significantly improve the reliability evaluation efficiency, and O1 performs the best among the four methods.
Journal ArticleDOI

Condition based maintenance optimization considering multiple objectives

TL;DR: This work develops a physical programming based approach to deal with the multi-objective condition based maintenance optimization problem and shows how the decision maker can systematically and efficiently make good tradeoff between the cost objective and reliability objective.
Journal ArticleDOI

Redundancy allocation for multi-state systems using physical programming and genetic algorithms

TL;DR: Genetic algorithm (GA) is used to solve the proposed physical programming-based optimization model for redundancy allocation for multi-state series–parallel systems and offers a flexible and effective way to address the conflicting nature of these different objectives.
Journal ArticleDOI

Health Condition Prediction of Gears Using a Recurrent Neural Network Approach

TL;DR: A neural network prediction model called extended recurrent neural network (ERNN) is developed for health condition prediction of gearboxes based on the vibration data collected from a gearbox experimental system and the capability of the ERNN based approach for producing satisfactory health condition Prediction results is demonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Crack propagation assessment for spur gears using model-based analysis and simulation

TL;DR: The results suggest that the root mean square (RMS) indicator is a better statistical indicator than the Kurtosis indicator to reflect the crack propagation in the early stage of gearbox vibration monitoring approaches.
