Current PHM Surveys for Mechanical Engineering

Abstract

PHM technology has played more and more important in the current mechanical engineering and acted as an intelligent solution to improve the availability of manufacturing systems. PHM consists of system health monitoring, feature extraction, fault diagnosis, and fault prognosis through remaining useful life estimation. With the help of various fault models, artificial intelligence algorithms, monitoring diagnosis, prediction techniques, PHM also uses a large number of condition monitoring data and information to improve the safety and working life of mechanical devices, minimizes the impact of device failures, and avoids the major accidents caused by the mechanical device malfunctions. In this article, several classical PHM surveys and reviews central to nowadays mechanical engineering are studied, ranging from typical PHM frameworks, practical PHM solutions, to concrete PHM approaches. And these related insightful literatures are surveyed and introduced, which could help more readers to better understand the PHM technologies in reshaping the modernization of current mechanical engineering
