    Statistical condition monitoring based on vibration signals

    Designing control limits for condition monitoring is an important aspect of setting maintenance schedules and has been virtually ignored by researchers to date. This paper proposes a novel statistical process control tool, the Weighted Loss function CUSUM (WLC) chart, for the detection of condition variation. The control limit was designed using baseline condition data, where the process was fitted by an autoregressive model and the residuals were used as the chart statistic. The condition variation is reflected by the changes of mean and variance of the statistic’s distribution against baseline condition, which can be detected by a single WLC chart. The approach was evaluated using a case study which showed that the chart can detect faulty conditions as well as their severity. The proposed approach has the advantage of requiring healthy baseline data only for the design of condition classifiers. It is applicable in numerous practical situations where data from faulty conditions are unavailable

    Degradation of piezoelectric fluropolymers in space environments

    The performance criteria of piezoelectric polymers based on polyvinylidene flouride (PVDF) in complex space environments have been evaluated. Thin films of these materials are being explored as in-situ responsive materials for large aperture space-based telescopes with the shape deformation and optical features dependent on long-term deformation and optical features dependent on long-term degradation effects, mainly due to thermal cycling, vacuum UV exposure and atomic oxygen. A summary of previous studies related to materials testing and performance prediction based on a laboratory environment is presented. The degradation pathways are a combination of molecular chemical changes primarily induced via radiative damage and physical degradation processes due to temperature and atomic oxygen exposure resulting in depoling, loss of orientation and surface erosing. Experimental validation for these materials to be used in space is being conducted as part of MISSE-6 (Materials International Space Station Experiment) with an overview of the experimental strategies discussed here
