Description
Summary:Fault detection of rotating engine components in the aircraft engine is a challenging task that must constantly be monitored to provide aviation safety. In this paper, we propose a novel approach based on multi-layer perceptron (MLP) to detect in real time the degree of faults in a turbine engine disk due to a crack. To further improve detection accuracy while reducing computational complexity, the recursive feature elimination (RFE) is applied as a potent feature selection method. Satisfactorily, simulation results show that the proposed framework is robust to changes in operating conditions and outperforms comparative approaches.
