Special Issue on Cognitive Digital Twins for Predictive Maintenance: Uncertainty and Risk Analysis
ASCE-ASME Journal of Risk and Uncertainty in Engineering Systems, Part B: Mechanical Engineering
Submit PaperThe rapid evolution of mechanical systems and increasing industrial complexity have driven the need for advanced predictive maintenance strategies. Cognitive Digital Twins (CDTs), integrating AI, real-time data analytics, and cognitive computing, have emerged as a transformative solution. Unlike traditional digital twins, CDTs can learn, reason, and adapt, enabling more accurate and dynamic predictive maintenance. However, their reliability is challenged by modeling uncertainties, sensor noise, environmental variability, and unforeseen operational conditions.
These challenges highlight the need for robust uncertainty quantification and risk analysis frameworks tailored to CDTs. This special issue focuses on the intersection of cognitive digital twins, predictive maintenance, and risk analysis, exploring how CDTs can enhance decision-making under uncertainty, improve system reliability, and optimize maintenance strategies. It emphasizes uncertainty quantification, risk modeling, and cognitive capabilities, addressing critical gaps in the field.
