Analysis of stability of community structure across multiple hierarchical levels

The analysis of stability of community structure is an important problem for scientists from many fields. Here, we propose a new framework to reveal hidden properties of community structure by quantitatively analyzing the dynamics of Potts model. Specifically we model the Potts procedure of community structure detection by a Markov process, which has a clear mathematical explanation. Critical t...

Standards Related to Prognostics and Health Management (PHM) for Manufacturing

Prognostics and health management (PHM) technologies reduce burdensome maintenance tasks of products or processes through diagnostic and prognostic activities. These activities provide actionable information that enable intelligent decision‐making for improved performance, safety, reliability, and maintainability. However, standards for PHM system development, data collection and analysis techn...

Adaptive Multi-scale PHM for Robotic Assembly Processes

Adaptive multiscale prognostics and health management (AM-PHM) is a methodology designed to support PHM in smart manufacturing systems. As a rule, PHM information is not used in high-level decision-making in manufacturing systems. AM-PHM leverages and integrates component-level PHM information with hierarchical relationships across the component, machine, work cell, and production line levels i...

Adaptive Multi-scale Prognostics and Health Management for Smart Manufacturing Systems

The Adaptive Multi-scale Prognostics and Health Management (AM-PHM) is a methodology designed to enable PHM in smart manufacturing systems. In application, PHM information is not yet fully utilized in higher-level decision-making in manufacturing systems. AM-PHM leverages and integrates lower-level PHM information such as from a machine or component with hierarchical relationships across the co...
