In complex industrial processes, it is necessary to perform modeling analysis on some industrial systems and find and optimize the factors that have the greatest impact on the results, in order to achieve the optimization of the industrial systems. However, due to the high-level nature or complex working mechanism of complex industrial systems, traditional principal component analysis methods are difficult to apply. Therefore, this paper proposes a characteristic model-based principal component analysis (CMPCA) to perform principal component analysis on complex industrial systems. The differential pressure flowmeter is taken as an example to verify the effectiveness of the method. Flowmeter is an indispensable instrument in measurement, and its accuracy depends on its own structural parameters. However, the measurement accuracy of some flow meters is not high, and the measurement error is large, which affects the normal industrial production process. This method is used to analyze the influence of the structural parameters of the flowmeter on its measurement accuracy, and the four most important structural parameters are found and optimized. The measurement error of the Bitoba flowmeter is reduced from 1% to 0.2%, and the measurement repeatability is reduced from 0.3 to 0.06, which proves the effectiveness of the method.

This work forms part of a larger investigation into fracture detection using acoustic emission (AE) during landing gear airworthiness testing. It focuses on the use of principal component analysis (PCA) to differentiate between fracture signals and high levels of background noise. An artificial acoustic emission (AE) fracture source was developed and additionally five sources were used to generate differing AE signals. Signals were recorded from all six artificial sources in a real landing gear component subject to no load. Further to this, artificial fracture signals were recorded in the same component under airworthiness test load conditions. Principal component analysis (PCA) was used to automatically differentiate between AE signals from different source types. Furthermore, successful separation of artificial fracture signals from a very high level of background noise was achieved. The presence of a load was observed to affect the ultrasonic propagation of AE signals.

AbstractAs model-based systems engineering (MBSE) is evolving, the need for evaluating MBSE approaches grows. Literature shows that there is an untested assertion in the MBSE community that complexity drives the adoption of MBSE. To assess this assertion and support the evaluation of MBSE, a principal component analysis was carried out on eight product and development characteristics using data collected in an MBSE course, resulting in organizational complexity, product complexity and inertia. To conclude, the method developed in this paper enables organisations to evaluate their MBSE adoption potential.

This note extends the results in the 2016 article by Raykov, Marcoulides, and Li to the case of correlated errors in a set of observed measures subjected to principal component analysis. It is shown that when at least two measures are fallible, the probability is zero for any principal component—and in particular for the first principal component—to be error-free. In conjunction with the findings in Raykov et al., it is concluded that in practice no principal component can be perfectly reliable for a set of observed variables that are not all free of measurement error, whether or not their error terms correlate, and hence no principal component can practically be error-free.
