Prognostics and health management (PHM) uses process state information to inform decision making with the goal of improving maintenance activities, performance, safety, and reliability. In this paper, we present a new methodology for (i) targeting areas in a manufacturing setting that could benefit from a PHM system, and (ii) testing and comparing PHM strategies for implementation on the targeted areas. Our proposed WEAR methodology is inspired by its four principal steps: (1) World-identifying targets, (2) Experiments-collecting candidate PHM strategies, (3) Assess-evaluating the proposed strategies using simulation, and (4) Return-constructing a business case for PHM implementation. The goal ofthe methodology is to streamline the decision making process before installing a PHM system so that the impacts of PHM are maximized with regards to the manufacturing system as a whole, and the total cost of implementation is reduced. A case study is presented in which the WEAR methodology was implemented at a manufacturing facility in cooperation with an industry partner. (c) 2017 The Society of Manufacturing Engineers.

Generative adversarial networks for data augmentation and transfer in credit card fraud detection

Alex Langevin, Tyler Cody, Stephen Adams, Peter Beling

Summary: Augmenting a dataset with synthetic samples is a common step in machine learning to improve model performance, and it can also benefit sharing information between cooperating parties while maintaining customer privacy. However, the potential gains from synthetic data augmentation are often overlooked in relation to data distribution. A case study in credit card fraud detection suggests that customer distributions can impact the effectiveness of augmentation with Generative Adversarial Networks.

Cyberphysical Security Through Resiliency: A Systems-Centric Approach

Cody Fleming, Carl R. Elks, Georgios Bakirtzis, Stephen C. Adams, Bryan Carter, Peter A. Beling, Barry Horowitz

Summary: Cyberphysical systems require resiliency techniques for defense, and multicriteria resiliency problems need an approach that evaluates systems for current threats and potential design solutions. A systems-oriented view of cyberphysical security, termed Mission Aware, is proposed based on a holistic understanding of mission goals, system dynamics, and risk.

Interpretable real-time monitoring of pipeline weld crack leakage based on wavelet multi-kernel network

Jing Huang, Zhifen Zhang, Rui Qin, Yanlong Yu, Guangrui Wen, Wei Cheng, Xuefeng Chen

Summary: In this study, a deep learning framework that combines interpretability and feature fusion is proposed for real-time monitoring of pipeline leaks. The proposed method extracts abstract feature details of leak acoustic emission signals through multi-level dynamic receptive fields and optimizes the learning process of the network using a feature fusion module. Experimental results show that the proposed method can effectively extract distinguishing features of leak acoustic emission signals, achieving higher recognition accuracy compared to typical deep learning methods. Additionally, feature map visualization demonstrates the physical interpretability of the proposed method in abstract feature extraction.
