Abstract:

Health status assessment is a key part of prognostics and health management for complex systems. Aiming at the comprehensive assessment problems of the system health state, a complex system health evaluation approach is proposed, which is based on the improved Mahalanobis-Taguchi system (IMTS). Firstly, the time series of multiple characteristic parameters is monitored, which is put into IMTS to filter the features and calculate the weighted Mahalanobis distance (WMD). Then, the health index (HI) model is constructed based on WMD, and the Box-Cox transformation and three-sigma rules are used to determine the HI threshold. Finally, with the PHM08 data provided by national aeronautics and space administration (NASA), the health status of the aeroengine is evaluated. The results indicate that the proposed method can perform timely and effective comprehensive health assessment of complex systems.

Key words: improved Mahalanobis-Taguchi system (IMTS), health index (HI), Box-Cox transformation, health status assessment
