Electro-Mechanical Actuator Prognostics and Health Management Development Data

A systems engineering approach for Electro-Mechanical Actuator Prognostics and Health Management system development, formulated by authors with permission from MFPT. The approach integrates simulation-based design, dynamic failure mode analysis, and automated failure mode insertion for algorithm development and verification. It was implemented and validated for landing gear EMA PHM using a test stand constructed for this purpose.

Use Cases

• Developing fault detection algorithms based on dynamic failure mode and effects analysis.
• Designing and verifying PHM algorithms using automated failure mode insertion and propagation analysis.
• Creating virtual sensor software packages for component-level system models.
• Performing fault insertion analysis for algorithm development and experimental prioritization.

Strengths

• Approach includes automated failure mode insertion and propagation analysis.
• Model-based predictor was validated using data from a specifically constructed test stand.
• Process integrates simulation-based design principles with dynamic failure mode analysis.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data is presented in PDF format, which may require extraction for computational analysis.
