Counts of such operation cycles can be used as input features. Similar speed bands may be used for transmission and other machines having rotatable structures.
- cumulative features across different flights executed by the same engine are determined. All features above can be extracted from individual flights. However, one particular engine may execute thousands of flights in its life span. The cumulative effect of all above features across different missions can therefore also be used as input features. Similarly cumulative features across different drives, power generation processes, or other operational windows of a machine can be determined.
- feature optimization can be performed.
- Processing the historical operational data can include determining one or more input features for training the machine-learned model or other non-physics based model using a machine learning technique.
- Feature groups can be identified based on similarity.
- important features can be identified based on the particular machine (e.g., engine, transmission, tool, etc.) location/part where crack grows. These important features are then used as the optimized features for machine learning models. Important features may also be identified based on individual machines.
- the method can include training, tuning, and cross-validating the one or more models.
