Remaining useful life estimation of HMPE rope during CBOS testing through machine learning

2021

Fibre rope used in cranes for offshore deployment and recovery has significant potential to perform lifts with smaller cranes and vessels to reach depths limited by weight of steel wire rope. Current condition monitoring methods based on manual inspection and time-based and reactive maintenance have significant potential for improvement coupled with more accurate remaining useful life (RUL) prediction. Machine learning has found use as a condition monitoring approach, coupled with vast improvements in data acquisition methods. This paper details data-driven RUL prediction methods based on machine learning algorithms applied on cyclic-bend-over-sheave (CBOS) tests performed on two fibre rope…
