ETH Zürich - SMM group seminar

I had the pleasure to give a seminar at ETH Zürich in Prof. Chatzi’s Structural Mechanics and monitoring group. It involved our latest published work on Bayesian fusion methods for robust degradation prognostics. The seminar followed very interesting exchanges and research directions with different attendees from the department. More details about the seminar can be found on the following webpage, slides are available here as well as the video below:

Kalman filtering for prognostics

The following presentation is largely based on Tim Sullivan’s UQ book which I highly recommend. It gives clear and concise mathematical presentations of various topics in UQ. Suppose we have a state-observation model that is linear and additive. The state/variable under scrutiny here is linked to a degradation phenomenon, moreover the degradation dynamics here are supposed to be linear. For non-linear dynamics, non-parametric methods exist, especially using particle filters. For the moment let the system be defined as:
