Description
Summary:As a critical component of the engine, the failure of aviation fuel pumps can lead to serious safety accidents, necessitating the development of effective maintenance programs. Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) has a clear structure and strong interpretability in maintenance decision making. However, it heavily relies on expert knowledge, which is subject to uncertainty and incoherence. Therefore, this paper proposes the NOA (Nutcracker Optimization Algorithm)–GNN (Graph Neural Network) model to enhance the accuracy and robustness of FTA by mitigating the uncertainty and inconsistency in expert knowledge. The NOA algorithm efficiently searches the solution space to identify globally optimal solutions. An FTA-TOPSIS (Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution) maintenance decision-making framework has also been developed. By integrating FTA with TOPSIS, the proposed method provides a comprehensive and systematic approach that combines qualitative and quantitative analyses, thereby improving the effectiveness and reliability of maintenance decision making.
