2 Motivation and Background 2

3 P3 Aircraft Health Management Fatigue Cracks SAFE-life design assumes very low probability of crack initiation Full-sacle fatigue tests with 2X safety factors Objective: Quantify the risk associated with fleet life extension (damage-tolerance regime) 3

4 Motivation & Background Today s objective in fleet management is to use an airframe to its maximum service life (total life) [1] Stochastic Physics-of-Failure (PoF) or mechanistic-life approach has proved useful for fleet management. Shortcomings of PoF: Limited knowledge about the underlying PoF Scarcity of relevant material-level test data to estimate model parameters In practice, disconnected from the system being modeled (no feedback) Crack Size Critical size Safe Safe Unsafe FH1 FH2 FH 3 Rogue flaw Assumed initial flaw FH3 [1] Hoffman, Paul C. Fleet management issues and technology needs. International Journal of Fatigue 31, no (November): Flight Hours 4

5 Methodology GOAL: Developing a hybrid prognostics methodology for health management consisting of the following modules: Physics-of-Failure (PoF) Model Non-Destructive Inspection (NDI)-based integrity assessment Knowledge Fusion Module Physics of Failure PoF Model-Based Prediction Non-destructive Inspection AE Monitoring of Crack Growth Feature Extraction Calibration Fatigue Crack Growth Parameters ( K, da/dn) Crack Size Distribution from AE Knowledge Fusion Hybrid Prognostic Model Bayesian Framework Knowledge Fusion Probabilistic AE-Based Diagnostic Inspection Field Data 5

7 Acoustic Emission Monitoring 7

8 AE for Fatigue > Background Acoustic emissions are elastic stress waves generated by a rapid release of energy from localized sources within a material under stress [3]. Fig. from [2] mv Passive technique (good for detecting damage as it accumulates) Global monitoring and localization capability Only good for detecting active defects Highly susceptible to noise µsec AE waveform from crack growth [2] Huang, M. et al., Using acoustic emission in fatigue and fracture materials research.

9 AE for Fatigue > AE analysis Medium (Aluminum) Received AE Signal (Complex Waveform) Sensor Deconvolution of the measured voltage signal from the sensor to evaluate the properties of the source event is extremely difficult. 20 mv Signal at Source (Pulse) µsec AE Features Amplitude Energy Rise time Counts (Threshold crossing) Frequency content Waveform shape 9

23 Knowledge Fusion > Multi-stage state updating 23

24 Knowledge Fusion > Bayesian Model Updating Acoustic Emission: Evidence Simulation: ᅠ (k ) DAE = {DAE k = 1K N e } (k ) DAE = {(x k, E (k ) ) E (k ) ~ f E ( k ) (e(k ) d;x k )} DSM = {(x j, y ij ) i = 1K N s, j =1K N x } ᅠ 24

26 Knowledge Fusion > Bayesian Model Updating > Inference The objective is to infer the model parameters from the simulation and the AE data. p( l,f DSM,DAE ) =? (1) (N e ) (1) (N ) p( l,f DSM,DAE ) = p( l,f DSM,DAE,K,DAE ) = p( l,f DSM, E,K, E e ) ᅠ ᅠ ᅠ ᅠf = E (1 ) (1) (1) (2) (N ) (1) (e ) p( l,f DSM,e, E,K, E e ) de e (1 ) = ᅠᅠf E (1) e (1 ) e ( 2) M = ᅠ e (1 ),K,e ( Ne ) ᅠ (1) (2) (1) (1) (2) (3) (N ) ( 2) (1) (e ). f E ( 2 ) E (1) (e e ).p( l,f DSM,e,e, E,K, E e ).de.de Ne f E (1) (e(1) ).ᅠ ( f E ( k ) E ( k- 1) (e(k ) e(k - 1) ).p( l,f DSM,e(1),e(2),K,e(N e ) ).de(k ) ) k =2 The correlation between AE data at subsequent time instances is captured in the conditional PDF terms that appear in the above equations. 26

27 Knowledge Fusion > Bayesian Model Updating > Inference Now using Bayes rule: p( l,f DSM,e(1),e(2),K,e(N e ) ) ᄉ p( DSM,e(1),e(2),K,e(N e ) l,f ) p( l,f ) = p( DSM l,f ).p(e(1) l,f ).K.p(e(N e ) l,f ).p( l,f ) ᅠ implification based on the independence of ᅠ ᅠ SM (k ) p E 1 E (k 2 ) (k ),?,? = p E 1?,?," k1,k 2 = 1,K,N e and DAE and conditional independence (1) (N e ) = p( DSMof El s).pgiven l model e l.p l f ).p(f ;y ) (e the ).K.p ( parameters, ᅠi.e.) ( (k) does not appear in the likelihood functions and by using the rules of conditional probability At this level, each of the likelihood terms, p(. λ), can be easily calculated as follows: Nx Ns p( DSM l ) = ᅠᅠ f Y ( y ij l ;x j ) j =1 i=1 p(e(k ) l ) = f Yk (e(k ) l ;x k ) 27

28 Knowledge Fusion > Bayesian Model Updating > Solution Approach DSM and DAE are independent so we can do sequential updating: First update using DSM, use the resulting posterior as the prior for updating with DAE For DAE, discretize the distribution of E(k) s and treat each resulting point as regular evidence. Perform the updating but (k ) (k - 1) weigh the resulting posterior using an appropriate f E E weight (e e ) calculated from the conditional distribution Bayesian updating at each step is performed via MCMC simulation ᅠ ( k) ( k- 1) We use WinBUGS software to find the posterior Weight calculation is performed in MATLAB Large computation time for large data sets and lower discretization error. 28

29 Summary A case study of using Bayesian fusion technique for integrating information from multiple sources in a structural health management problem was presented The simulation data was first used to find the model parameters and then, as crack size estimates from AE became available, the model parameters were updated in light of the new evidence. The mathematical formulation of the problem as well as the setup of the Bayesian inference solution was given. The solution includes treatment of uncertain evidence and also takes into account the correlation between AE observations. The resulting equations should be solved numerically. Efforts are still under way to provide an efficient computational solution to this problem 29
