The Uncertainty Analysis of Health Management Strategies for Aero-Engines

Abstract

The Aero-Engine Is the Heart of an Aircraft and Critical to the Flight Safety and Economy, Health Management in Total Life Cycle for Aero-Engines Is an Effective Way and Is Popularly Employed to Balance the Economy and Safety. however, it Is Difficult to Make Appropriate Health Management Strategies for a Complex System, such as Aero-Engines. Firstly the Uncertainty Source of Fault Diagnosis and Prognosis System Is Explored. then the Primary Uncertainty Sources Including Condition Information, Monitoring and Detection Approaches, Signal Detection, Remaining Lifetime Prediction and Maintenance Strategy-Making, Are Analyzed in this Context. the Corresponding Tactics for Reducing Uncertainty Are Proposed in the Paper, which Provides Essential References for Assisting the Design for Health Management System.
