“Dedicated to providing a research and knowledge base to support the advancement of prognostics and system health management”
Prognostics is the process of predicting the future reliability of a product by assessing the extent of deviation or degradation of a product from its expected normal operating conditions. Health monitoring is a process of measuring and recording the extent of deviation and degradation from a normal operating condition.
The initial studies of the CityU PHM Centre will focus on advancing system-level PHM hybrid (pattern recognition and physics of failure) algorithms, and implementing PHM methods for the Chinese industries. Sensor technologies with embedded PHM algorithms will also be developed. The CityU PHM Centre will be cooperating with leading international universities to co-develop state-of-the-art methods and technologies to promote high quality prognostics research and development.
City University of Hong Kong is an outstanding university in China with a worldwide reputation in mathematics and engineering. Its new president, Professor Way Kuo, is a member of the U.S. National Academy of Engineering, Academia Sinica (Taiwan), the International Academy of Quality, and the Chinese Academy of Engineering. President Kuo is a strong proponent of design-for-reliability methods and prognostics and is actively supporting this CityU PHM Centre.
