System and Method for Providing Real-Time Prediction of Time to Fatigue Failure Under Stochastic Loading

摘要

A prediction system predicts a failure time of a mechanical system of interest in real-time. A sensor/sensors array senses a characteristic of the mechanical system of interest. An artificial neural network system includes an artificial neural network (ANN), a training module (140) configured to train the ANN, and a real-time prediction module. Real-time data is recorded by the sensor/s and converted in real-time into an estimated failure time of the mechanical system of interest and a corresponding uncertainty quantification. A reporting module receives and displays the estimated failure time and the uncertainty quantification.
