de Ruijter, Pim (author)The detection of anomalous behaviour is fundamental to component health analysis techniques. However, detecting anomalies is a difficult and time consuming task if their form, location, and frequency are unknown. This research introduces an innovative unsupervised predictive maintenance pipeline that requires minimal domain knowledge and time to...master thesis 2023

Mitici, M.A. (author), de Pater, I.I. (author), Barros, Anne (author), Zeng, Zhiguo (author)The increasing availability of condition-monitoring data for components/systems has incentivized the development of data-driven Remaining Useful Life (RUL) prognostics in the past years. However, most studies focus on point RUL prognostics, with limited insights into the uncertainty associated with these estimates. This limits the...journal article 2023

Lee, J. (author)Current aircraft maintenance ensures safe and reliable flight operations based on inspections repeated at fixed time intervals. The time interval between inspections is often much shorter than the average life of aircraft components, in an effort to timely detect potential failures. While this approach successfully prevents most potential...doctoral thesis 2022

Robinson, Alex (author)Industrial electric motors are at the heart of almost every industry. They are a 47 billion USD market in 2020 and consume 70% of all industrial electricity. They are generally paired with a gearbox and load, which is referred to as an electric gearmotor system. Being so essential means that it is important to avoid failures, 98% of 300...master thesis 2022

Multi-objective design of aircraft maintenance using Gaussian process learning and adaptive samplingLee, J. (author), Mitici, M.A. (author)Aircraft maintenance design aims to identify strategies that render the aircraft reliable for flight in a cost-efficient manner. These are often conflicting objectives. Moreover, existing studies on maintenance design often limit themselves to only one type of maintenance strategy, overlooking other potentially dominating designs. We propose...journal article 2022

Classens, Koen (author), Mostard, Mike (author), Van De Wijdeven, Jeroen (author), Maurice Heemels, W. P.M.H. (author), Oomen, T.A.E. (author)The condition of mechatronic production equipment slowly deteriorates over time, increasing the risk of failure and associated unscheduled downtime. A key indicator for an increased risk for failures is the shifting of resonances. The aim of this paper is to track the shifting resonances of the equipment online and during normal operation....journal article 2022

Mars, Laura (author)In this thesis, a simulation cost model is presented that can be used to assess the cost-effectiveness of a selection of PdM programs. The proposed model combines a discrete event simulation (DES) model with a cost model. It is specifically designed to analyse the PdM programs for the vacuum compressor pumps at Duyvis. All the PdM programs...master thesis 2021
