    摘要: A relational database is for relating maintenance information that differs for each of a plurality of complex systems, such as a plurality of differing aircraft, using a common database structure so as to facilitate maintenance procedures for the plurality of complex systems. The database structure comprises: a plurality of primary entities for providing a fault model description of each of the plurality of complex systems, the fault model description including, for each of the plurality of complex systems, failure modes, symptoms and data required to effect a repair; and a categorical entity corresponding to a complex system, such as an aircraft, that enables selection of the fault model description corresponding to the complex system or aircraft. The relational database is particularly suited for use in or by an aircraft maintenance and diagnostic system that assists with fault correction for a fault condition within an aircraft based on a fault model for the aircraft.

    摘要: A distributed decision making architecture for embedded prognostics in a platform is provided. An estimation system determines at least one performance characteristic of at least one device in the platform. A supervisory system is in communication with, and superior to, the estimation system. The supervisory system calculates a prediction of remaining useful life (RUL) of the at least one device in the platform. The supervisory system is adapted for collecting the at least one performance characteristic from the estimation system to generate a performance estimate, and implementing at least one data-driven equation to match the at least one performance estimate against of at least one known degradation condition to generate the prediction of remaining useful life of the at least one device.

    摘要: A method for improving fault classifications for failure modes in complex systems, and a software program embodying the method or a corresponding method together with a computer based aircraft diagnostic system using such software is described. The method includes: capturing an observation that is consistent with a discrepancy of the complex system; identifying a set of failure modes of the complex system that are consistent with the observation; ranking, when the set includes more than one failure mode, the failure modes according to a degree of support the observation provides for each failure mode, the degree of support including a historical component; determining additional possible observations that are consistent with any failure mode included in the set; and ranking the possible observations according to how rapidly they reduce a number of failure modes included in the set; then preferably selecting a further observation and repeating the above steps until only one failure mode remains.
