SHM seeks to address four questions: (Level 1) Detection: Is damage present? (Level 2) Localization: What is the probable location of damage? (Level 3) Assessment: What is the severity of the damage? (Level 4) Prognosis: What is the remaining service life of the damaged system? SHM can be used to monitor structures affected by external stimuli, long-term movement, ma- terial degradation, or demolition. -

Multivariate Statistical Process Monitoring Using Classical
View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Newcastle University eTheses Multivariate Statistical Process Monitoring Using Classical Multidimensional Scaling Prepared by: Mohd Yusri Mohd Yunus A Thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Chemical Engineering and Advanced Materials Newcastle University UK May 2012 ABSTRACT A new Multivariate Statistical Process Monitoring (MSPM) system, which comprises of three main frameworks, is proposed where the system utilizes Classical Multidimensional Scaling (CMDS) as the main multivariate data compression technique instead of using the linear- based Principal Component Analysis (PCA). The conventional method which usually applies variance-covariance or correlation measure in developing the multivariate scores is found to be inappropriately used especially in modelling nonlinear processes, where a high number of principal components will be typically required. Alternatively, the proposed method utilizes the inter-dissimilarity scales in describing the relationships among the monitored variables instead of variance-covariance measure for the multivariate scores development. However, the scores are plotted in terms of variable structure, thus providing different formulation of statistics for monitoring. Nonetheless, the proposed statistics still correspond to the conceptual objective of Hotelling’s T2 and Squared Prediction Errors (SPE). The first framework corresponds to the original -
