A method of managing an asset inventory is provided. The method includes obtaining data related to assets of the asset inventory and analyzing the obtained data to estimate a total number of assets required by the asset inventory over a time period. The method also includes determining a first cost of owning an asset and a second cost of leasing an asset and allocating the asset inventory between a first number of owned assets and a second number of leased assets to achieve an estimated least-cost value of maintaining the total number of assets over the time period.

A method of managing lifecycle costs for an asset inventory is provided. The method includes obtaining data related to assets for the asset inventory and analyzing the obtained data to generate a plurality of domain-dependent rules having parameters corresponding to assets of the asset inventory. The method also includes determining an optimal setting of the parameters to achieve an estimated least-cost value of owning the assets over a period of time and applying the optimal setting of the parameters to each asset to generate customized asset parameters.

Methods and systems for a mission planning system for a fleet of assets are provided. The system includes a centralized database for storing information, a computer system configured to be coupled to the database wherein the computer system includes a mission model configured to analyze a plurality of missions to be executed by the fleet of assets, the missions being defined by at least one task sequence and a set of environmental parameters associated with each task sequence, an asset model configured to determine the capability of each asset to perform the task sequence associated with at least one mission using the historical data, the threshold data, and the mission analysis, and a selection model configured to match at least one asset to each mission based on the determined asset capability, such that the capability of all assets is facilitated being optimized.

The performance of optimization algorithms operating with compute-intensive fitness functions is enhanced by constraining time-intensive fitness evaluations for candidate solutions that show low likelihood of being fit at early stages of the fitness evaluation. By prematurely discarding alternatives that could be potentially optimal upon complete fitness evaluation but with low likelihood, the running time of the overall optimization process is advantageously reduced substantially, thereby trading off time complexity for search fidelity.

A method for analyzing vibration including: acquiring a vibration signal; isolating a vibration signal event in the acquired signal; determining a frequency of a damped sinusoid of the vibration signal event, wherein the damped sinusoid characterizes the vibration signal event, and using the characteristic damped sinusoid to identify an occurrence of the vibration signal event in another vibration signal.

A method for monitoring engine performance includes sampling exhaust gas temperature associated with a turbine engine over an interval of operational time of the turbine engine. The method further includes applying a first test to identify statistical outliers on the sampled exhaust gas temperature data and removing identified statistical outliers from the sampled exhaust gas temperature data. Subsequently, the method includes applying a second test to identify step changes in slope of the exhaust gas temperature data and dividing the interval of operational time into one or more segments based upon the identified step changes. Finally, the method includes determining a slope for each segment and combining the segments to obtain a rate of performance deterioration of the turbine engine.
