Condition Based Maintenance and System Design Improvement of Engineering System through Machine Health Monitoring

Reliability of an engineering system is quite advantageous in modern industries. An effective maintenance strategy and improved system design can enhance the level of system reliability and decrease the operating cost. With the development of sensor technology, data acquisition devices, data mining algorithms and data processing capability, conditions of the running engineering system including the significant components of the system can be monitored. This research project is aiming to utilize the monitored condition of the engineering system to develop more cost effective maintenance strategies that can save operation cost as well as can prevent any catastrophic system failure. On the other hand, the information from the conditions
of the running engineering system can provide useful information about the quality of the current system design. This research project is also aiming to achieve design improvement of the current system with the data from machine health monitoring system.
