Abstract In the Prognostics and Health Management (PHM), remaining useful life (RUL) is very important and utilized to ensure the reliability and safety of the operation of complex mechanical systems. Recently, unscented Kalman filtering (UKF) has been applied widely in the RUL estimation. For a degradation system, the relationship between its monitored measurements and its degradation states is assumed to be nonlinear in the conventional UKF. However, in some special degradation systems, their monitored measurements have a linear relation with their degradation states. For these special problems, it may bring estimation errors to use the UKF… More >

Abstract For situations such as indoor and underground parking lots in which satellite signals are obstructed, GNSS cooperative positioning can be used to achieve high-precision positioning with the assistance of cooperative nodes. Here we study the cooperative positioning of two static nodes, node 1 is placed on the roof of the building and the satellite observation is ideal, node 2 is placed on the indoor windowsill where the occlusion situation is more serious, we mainly study how to locate node 2 with the assistance of node 1. Firstly, the two cooperative nodes are located with pseudo-range… More >
