Condition Based Maintenance Using Proportional Hazards Model

Dr. Abdel-Moez Bayoumi is a professor of mechanical engineering and biomedical engineering and the Associate Dean of the College of Engineering and Computing at the University of South Carolina. The Center for Predictive Maintenance hosts a versatile facility for testing aircraft components and supports the adoption of the conditionbased maintenance (CBM) paradigm within the U.S. Army Aviation ...

 Abstract: Maintenance of assembly and manufacturing equipment is crucial to ensure productivity, product quality, on-time delivery, and a safe working environment. Predictive Maintenance is an approach that utilises the condition monitoring data to predict the future machine conditions and make decisions upon this prediction. The main aim of the presented research is to achieve an improvement...

A new wave of computerised therapy is under development which, rather than simulating talking therapies, uses bias modification techniques to target the core psychological process underlying anxiety. Such interventions are aimed at anxiety disorders, and are yet to be adapted for co-morbid anxiety in psychosis. The cognitive bias modification (CBM) paradigm delivers repeated exposure to stimuli...

Why do some people see their glass as half-empty rather than half-full or even imagine that the glass will be filled in the future? Experimental methods can illuminate how individual differences in information processing style can profoundly impact mood or even result in disorders such as depression. A computerized cognitive bias modification intervention targeting interpretation bias in depres...

Background and Objectives: Negative cognitive biases have been linked to anxiety and mood problems. Accumulated data from laboratory studies show that positive and negative interpretation styles with accompanying changes in mood can be induced through cognitive bias modification (CBM) paradigms. Despite the therapeutic potential of positive training effects, few studies have explored training p...

The vibration analysis and condition monitoring technology is based on comparison of measurements obtained with benchmarks suggested by manufacturers or standards. In this case, the references provided by current rules are static and independent of parameters such as age or environmental conditions in which the machine is analyzed. New communication technologies allow the integration of eMainte...
