Failure analysis progresses to predictive condition monitoring and intelligent maintenance systems

摘要

Here we provide the salient details of a study published by Frost & Sullivan that analyzes trends in engineering failure analysis. Engineering failure analysis has made rapid strides in recent years, progressing from analysis of a breakdown after it has happened to proactive prediction of an imminent failure months before it takes place, claims a study entitled 'Engineering Failure Analysis - a Technology Assessment' by market research company Frost & Sullivan. Simultaneously, analytical instruments are becoming portable and smart, with the ability to predict failure and perform analysis on the field.
