Equipment Health Monitoring in Complex Systems

This timely new resource provides a practical introduction to equipment health monitoring (EHM) to ensure the safe operation and control of critical systems in defense, industrial, and healthcare applications. This book highlights system engineering processes and presents an overview of systems engineering for EHM design. The EHM functional architecture design as well as algorithm design is explored in this book and details about modeling the system, development approach alternatives, and performance assessment are included.
