Pattern-based fault diagnosis using neural networks

An architecture for a real-time pattern-based diagnostic expert system capable of accommodating noisy, incomplete, and possibly erroneous input data is outlined. Results from prototype systems applied to jet and rocket engine fault diagnosis are presented. The ability of a neural network-based system to be trained via the presentation of behavioral patterns associated with fault conditions is demonstrated.

Actuator tuning for nonlinear truss structures - A neural network approach

The optimal actuator placement problem encompasses finding their best locations and best gains. The latter is referred to as tuning the actuators. This paper deals with tuning a given set of actuators in presence of known structural nonlinearities arising from gaps at some joints. For this purpose, an efficient neural network-based algorithm is proposed and illustrated using numerical simulations.

A Neural Network Approach for Identifying Particle Pitch Angle Distributions in Van Allen Probes Data

Analysis of particle pitch angle distributions (PADs) has been used as a means to comprehend a multitude of different physical mechanisms that lead to flux variations in the Van Allen belts and also to particle precipitation into the upper atmosphere. In this work we developed a neural network-based data clustering methodology that automatically identifies distinct PAD types in an unsupervised way using particle flux data. One can promptly identify and locate three well-known PAD types in both time and radial distance, namely, 90deg peaked, butterfly, and flattop distributions. In order to illustrate the applicability of our methodology, we used relativistic electron flux data from the whole month of November 2014, acquired from the Relativistic Electron-Proton Telescope instrument on board the Van Allen Probes, but it is emphasized that our approach can also be used with multiplatform spacecraft data. Our PAD classification results are in reasonably good agreement with those obtained by standard statistical fitting algorithms. The proposed methodology has a potential use for Van Allen belt's monitoring.

Neural Network for Analysis of Hyperspectral Imagery

Each material has unique spectral distribution that can be viewed as its fingerprint. Advanced hyper and ultra spectral sensors will produce large amount of data. Therefore, advanced capabilities are required that can effectively deal with large data cubes, possibly in real time.

Artificial Neural Networks

Electric power systems represent complex systems involving many electrical components whoseoperation has to be planned, analyzed, monitored and controlled. The time-scale of tasks in electricpower systems extends from long term planning years ahead to milliseconds in the area of control. The behavior of power systems is highly non-linear. Monitoring and control involves several hundred variables which are only partly available by measurements.
