Component Reliability and PHM

Structural health monitoring techniques are usually used as non-destructive techniques for identifying the stability of electronic systems. The major techniques used for this include built-in self-test, which conducts tests on functionality, use of auxiliary devices, which provides warnings before before the critical component's failure, and the use of fuses and canaries. These systems have their advantages in identifying failure of components, but also have disadvantages in predicting or monitoring the condition of the system during operation. Common examples of structural health monitoring are carried out in infrastructural projects in which different sensors are used to monitor the condition by using statistical and machine learning methods.

Significant fields that also use condition and health monitoring techniques involve aerospace structural stability analysis, health monitoring of offshore drilling equipment, condition modeling of civil structures with varying load and time, and in disciplines such as biology, medicine, and psychology. The most useful techniques used for feature vector identification and structural health monitoring involve statistical analysis, particularly related to pattern recognition, and decision boundary detection algorithms, with machine learning techniques with neural networks, and artificial intelligence. Previous work in health monitoring from strain signals involves the use of frequency components of the signals combined with the use of statistical techniques to identify the different feature vectors in predicting failure.
