Method, system, and computer program product for performing prognosis and asset management services
First Claim
1. A method for implementing an integrated prognosis system, comprising:
- calculating an accumulated damage estimate for a component via a diagnostics function;
applying future mission information for the component to at least one model that calculates accumulated damage or remaining life, wherein mission information comprises one or more of a power level angle, a mach number and an altitude and wherein the at least one model is tuned using sensor data from a rig test;
inputting the accumulated damage estimate to the at least one model;
assembling data sequences representing only active operation of the rig via a time-mapping function;
removing data resets and negative trending outliers; and
synchronizing specified sensor features to a common, uniformly sampled time vector;
aggregating damage over time and quality assessments produced by the at least one model;
calculating a damage propagation profile and remaining life estimate for the component based upon the aggregating; and
providing an uncertainty estimate for the damage estimate and the remaining life estimate to a user.

Abstract
A method, system, and computer program product for performing prognosis and asset management services is provided. The method includes calculating an accumulated damage estimate for a component via a diagnostics function and applying future mission data for the component to at least one model that calculates accumulated damage or remaining life of the component. The method also includes inputting the accumulated damage estimate to the model and aggregating damage over time and quality assessments produced by the model. The method further includes calculating a damage propagation profile and remaining life estimate for the component based on the aggregating and providing an uncertainty estimate for the damage estimate and the remaining life estimate.
