PHM Standards Portal

Why?

The PHM Society is founded on three basic principles:

  • To provide free and unrestricted access to PHM knowledge
  • To promote interdisciplinary and international collaboration in PHM
  • To lead the advancement of PHM as an engineering discipline

Here’s a portal to summarize some PHM standards resources for you and to make connections easy. Developed for you by the Society’s Standards Committee. Look for our other Portal for PHM Education and Professional Development coming soon.

This portal can be used in multiple ways (with the information below) including:

  • Engage the PHM Society community to gather and disseminate information
  • Increase networking opportunities among like-minded professionals with an interest in standards
  • Review our PHM taxonomy to see what Prognostics and Health Management comprises
  • Review a preliminary compilation of PHM standards activities
  • Look for free tutorials to get an overview of specific topics of interest
  • Review summary reports from standards panels occurring during past PHM conferences
  • Identify publicly-available (both free and for-purchase) peer-reviewed journal papers, special topic issues, and conference proceedings
  • Contribute your own original papers, technical briefs, and communications to the International Journal of Prognostics and Health Management (IJPHM) and PHM Society conferences
  • Identify qualified candidates for full-time positions, graduate studies, and student opportunities
  • Access high-quality data sets of prognostics and diagnostics data from prior PHM Society data challenges and obtain published papers on the practical methods used by the winners
