abstract = "Companies are gradually developing: 1) complex and/or highly
integrated systems including vehicles (as satellites, airplanes,
cars, etc.) or equipment (as computers, cell phones, no breaks,
etc.) to use under 2) increasingly varied or inhospitable
environments, and to survive under 3) increasingly long life
cycles and unavoidable changes in staff \& facilities \&
technologies. The overall decision to use (by time, cost, quality,
of functions, services, etc.) such end systems under 2 require 4)
high Dependability (Reliability, Maintainability, Availability,
Correction, Safety, Security, etc.) of them. The overall survival
in use (by health monitoring, housekeeping, retrofit, upgrade,
etc.) of such end systems under 3 require 5) high Suportability
(Maintainability, Adaptability, Availability, Robustness, etc.) of
them coupled with the support systems. To meet the requirements
and expectations 4 and 5, there is a need to even treat a growing
number of faults, arising from 1, 2 and 3 in components,
equipment, subsystems or systems used. In particular, health
monitoring, fault prognosis and Remaining Useful Life (RUL)
prediction have been used to reach 4 and 5 and treat faults in a
priori but informed manner. Currently, electromechanical and
electrochemical equipment are among the faultiest ones in
aerospace and automotive systems. The faults of these equipment
can cause decreased performance, operational damage and/or even
failures, especially in space systems, since these hardly allow
maintenance. So: This paper presents a discussion on algorithms
for health monitoring, fault prognosis and RUL prediction of
aerospace and automotive equipment. To do that, it: 1) reviews the
literature for health monitoring, fault prognosis and RUL
prediction; selects their usual repertoire of faults; 3)
highlights some algorithms to treat them; 4) discuss their pros
and cons; 5) comment on some cases of electromechanical and
electrochemical equipment reported in the literature. Based on all
of this, we expect to show: 1) the adequacy, difficulties and
uncertainties in testing and validating such algorithms; and 2)
the benefits of health monitoring, fault prognosis and RUL
prediction of aerospace and automotive equipment for: a) analysis
and anticipation of faults; b) improved dependability,
supportability of the respective systems and of the overall
decision to use and survival in use of them; c) assistance in
sustainable mobility.",
