This paper reports a newly developed Condition-Based Maintenance (CBM) model based on Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) which takes into account a feature (e.g., vibration signals) from a machine to classify the condition into normal or abnormal. The model can reduce equipment downtime, production loss, and maintenance cost based on a change in equipment condition (e.g., changes in vibration, power usage, operating performance, temperatures, noise levels, chemical composition, debris content, and volume of material). The model can effectively determine the maintenance/service time that leads to a low maintenance cost in comparison to other types of maintenance strategy. Neural Networks tool (NNTool) in Matlab is used to apply the model and an illustrative example is discussed.

Artificial neural networks are applied to solve parameters identification problem for one-dimensional fractional-fractal model of filtration consolidation processes in geo-porous media in the conditions of salt transfer. Based on the indicators of the state of the process in a fixed number of observation points, the values of the orders of fractional derivatives with respect to time and space variables were restored. Testing results based on data sets obtained from noised solutions of the direct problem show the adequacy of fractional derivatives orders restoration with at least 25 observation points and noise levels less than 10%.

High Speed Brushes Aeration Mechanics are the effective aeration equipments which are widely used in the environmental protection. Because of the big span of main spindle and its high speed when it is working, the breakdown sometimes occurs. It is very importance to monitor its condition and diagnose its breakdowns. Turbulent Flow Displacement Sensors are the non-contact types which are based on eddy current effect. It has many advantages, such as good linearity, wide frequency response scope, convenience installment and so on. So it is very suitable for the main spindle’s vibration signals of a high speed brushes aeration mechanic are monitored. With the development of Artificial Neural Networks technology, the equipment breakdown diagnosis has realized intellectualization. The recognition of equipment failure types is one of the most important studying domains of Artificial Neural Networks at present. Based on the research of eddy current effect and Artificial Neural Networks, we build up a test system which can monitor condition and diagnose breakdown to a GSB-12 high speed brushes aeration mechanic. With the help of it, the vibration signals of the measurement points on the main spindle are measured at two mutually vertical positions. The signals’ base frequency and multiplicative frequency are taken as characteristic value. Six common breakdowns are selected and to be taken as the standard sample and there are 3 lays in the neural network. Using FBP algorithm, we get a satisfied effect. The experiment has confirmed that this method is advanced, reliable and practical. It provides a new method about intelligent monitor and breakdown diagnosis to high speed brushes aeration mechanics’ condition.
