Prognostics and health management (PHM)
Prognostics and health management (PHM) is a multifaceted discipline that protects the integrity of components, products, and systems of systems by avoiding unanticipated problems that can lead to performance deficiencies and adverse effects on safety.
Prognostics is the process of predicting a system’s remaining useful life (RUL). By estimating the progression of a fault given the current degree of degradation, the load history, and the anticipated future operational and environmental conditions, PHM can predict when a product or system will no longer perform its intended function within the desired specifications.
Human laboratory pursues to develop the methodology that diagnoses health and predicts the remaining useful life (RUL) of engineered systems in real-time. This research can lead to maximizing facility availability and reducing maintenance costs. It can make stable facility operations by minimizing the occurrence of failures.

Acquiring fault data is a very difficult point in the PHM research field for training deep learning architecture. Collecting PHM data needs a lot of effort to emulate faulty situations. To solve this problem, Human Lab. has several testbeds that can simulate fault situations under various conditions. Also, Human Lab. is conducting many research projects that check the applicability of the proposed PHM techniques required in the real field. For more information, please check the above details.
Motor testbed for fault diagnosis research
(Fault type: motor winding faults per various load conditions)
Bearing & Rotor testbed for fault diagnosis research
(Fault type: bearing faults, rotor unbalance, shaft misalignment per various load conditions)
Bearing accelerated life testbed for prognostic research
(Fault type: bearing run-to-failure)
Fan testbed for heating, ventilation, & air conditioning (HVAC) fault diagnosis research
(Fault type: fan unbalance, belt looseness)
