Bieber, M.T. (author), Verhagen, W.J.C. (author), Santos, Bruno F. (author)Over the past years, advanced prognostic models and approaches have been developed. Most existing approaches are tailored to one specific system and cannot adaptively be used on different systems. This can lead to years of research and expertise being put into implementing prognostic models without the capacity to predict system failures,...journal article 2024

Bieber, M.T. (author), Verhagen, W.J.C. (author), Cosson, Fabrice (author), Santos, Bruno F. (author)Spacecraft systems collect health-related data continuously, which can give an indication of the systems’ health status. While they rarely occur, the repercussions of such system anomalies, faults, or failures can be severe, safety-critical and costly. Therefore, the data are used to anticipate any kind of anomalous behaviour. Typically this is...journal article 2023

Borst, N.G. (author), Verhagen, W.J.C. (author)Prognostics and Health Management (PHM) models aim to estimate remaining useful life (RUL) of complex systems, enabling lower maintenance costs and increased availability. A substantial body of work considers the development and testing of new models using the NASA C-MAPSS dataset as a benchmark. In recent work, the use of ensemble methods...journal article 2023

(author)Condition-Based Maintenance (CBM) is a policy that uses information about the health condition of systems and structures to identify optimal maintenance interventions over time, increasing the efficiency of maintenance operations. Despite CBM being a well-established concept in academic research, the practical uptake in aviation needs to catch...journal article 2023

Newcamp, Jeffrey M. (author), Verhagen, W.J.C. (author), Curran, R. (author)Aircraft fleet managers lack tools to aid decision-making for fleets nearing retirement, which leads to rushed and ill-informed decisions. Accordingly, aging aircraft fleets are underutilized and fleets can be retired before their useful lifetime has been expended. A decision support framework is proposed to solve the aging military aircraft...conference paper 2022

Tseremoglou, I. (author), Bieber, M.T. (author), Verhagen, W.J.C. (author), Santos, Bruno F. (author), Freeman, F.C. (author), van Kessel, P.J. (author)One of the challenges of Condition-Based Maintenance (CBM) is to combine health monitoring and predictions with efficient scheduling tools. However, the majority of literature is focusing on the assessment of prognostics algorithms performance. In fact, the added value of these algorithms can only be assessed when considering their impact on...conference paper 2022

Scott, Michael J. (author), Verhagen, W.J.C. (author), Bieber, M.T. (author), Marzocca, Pier (author)In recent decades, the increased use of sensor technologies, as well as the increase in digitalisation of aircraft sustainment and operations, have enabled capabilities to detect, diagnose, and predict the health of aircraft structures, systems, and components. Predictive maintenance and closely related concepts, such as prognostics and health...journal article 2022

Bieber, M.T. (author), Verhagen, W.J.C. (author)In recent years, there has been an enormous increase in the amount of research in the field of prognostics and predictive maintenance for mechanical and electrical systems. Most of the existing approaches are tailored to one specific system. They do not provide a high degree of flexibility and often cannot be adaptively used on different systems...journal article 2022

Bieber, M.T. (author), Verhagen, W.J.C. (author), Santos, Bruno F. (author)Metrics play an important part in the development and application of prognostic methodologies as they provide the capability to characterize and assess the quality of remaining useful life predictions. Although there is a wide range of both, prognostic metrics and prognostic methodologies available, the choice of those often is a demanding and...conference paper 2022

Deng, Q. (author), Santos, Bruno F. (author), Verhagen, W.J.C. (author)Modern aircraft have thousands of parts, systems, and components that need to be recurrently inspected or replaced. To keep the fleet airworthy, maintenance planners have to schedule the maintenance checks for each aircraft and the associated tasks. In practice, these two complex problems are solved following the experience of planners,...journal article 2021

Bieber, M.T. (author), Verhagen, W.J.C. (author), Santos, Bruno F. (author)Prognostics for condition-based maintenance does not only consist of prognostic algorithms but also involves steps such as data pre-processing, feature extraction, and feature selection, all of which contribute to the quality of the remaining useful life estimation. This process requires a lot of expertise and technical knowledge, which for many...conference paper 2021

Koornneef, H. (author), Verhagen, W.J.C. (author), Curran, R. (author)Aircraft dispatch involves determining the optimal dispatch option when an aircraft experiences an unexpected failure. Currently, maintenance technicians at the apron have limited access to support information and finding the right information in extensive maintenance manuals is a time-consuming task, often leading to technically induced...journal article 2021

Bieber, M.T. (author), Verhagen, W.J.C. (author), Santos, Bruno F. (author)During flights aircraft continuously collect data regarding operations, health status and system condition. Data-driven approaches typically applied to system specific sensor data provide a way to predict failures of aircraft systems. However, it is believed that some systems deteriorate faster when subjected to particular environmental...conference paper 2021

Massart, Philippe F.R. (author), Dhanisetty, V.S.V. (author), Kassapoglou, C. (author), Verhagen, W.J.C. (author), Curran, R. (author)This paper proposes an analytical model that uses historical damage dimension data to deduce physical impactor characteristics (size and energy) that has caused a certain resulting damage. Maintenance tasks occur in operations due to impact, however the source of the damage caused in the event remains in most cases unknown. Consequently, by...journal article 2020

Koornneef, H. (author), Verhagen, W.J.C. (author), Curran, R.

This operational decision process - known as dispatch assessment - has to happen within limited available time between aircraft arrival and departure. Currently, technicians face two main...journal article 2020
