摘要：AbstractThis paper presents a method for on-line estimation of contact surfaces deterioration in a friction drive system. It is based on a recent developed linear parameter-varying model which includes both the mechanical device and the actuator deterioration dynamics in the same framework. In this work an Extended Kalman Filter is explored to estimate the current state of deterioration assuming the knowledge of the operating conditions, input signals, and sensor information. A simulated example illustrates the potential integration of the deterioration estimation into the prognostics of Remaining Useful Lifetime.
