Automatic parametric fault detection in complex analog systems based on a method of minimum node selection

Adrian Bilski, Jacek Wojciechowski (2016)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

The aim of this paper is to introduce a strategy to find a minimal set of test nodes for diagnostics of complex analog systems with single parametric faults using the support vector machine (SVM) classifier as a fault locator. The results of diagnostics of a video amplifier and a low-pass filter using tabu search along with genetic algorithms (GAs) as node selectors in conjunction with the SVM fault classifier are presented. General principles of the diagnostic procedure are first introduced,...

A new approach to multiple fault diagnosis: A combination of diagnostic matrices, graphs, algebraic and rule-based models. The case of two-layer models

Antoni Ligęza, Jan Maciej Kościelny (2008)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

The diagnosis of multiple faults is significantly more difficult than singular fault diagnosis. However, in realistic industrial systems the possibility of simultaneous occurrence of multiple faults must be taken into account. This paper investigates some of the limitations of the diagnostic model based on the simple binary diagnostic matrix in the case of multiple faults. Several possible interpretations of the diagnostic matrix with rule-based systems are provided and analyzed. A proposal...

A probabilistic method for certification of analytically redundant systems

Bin Hu, Peter Seiler (2015)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

Analytical fault detection algorithms have the potential to reduce the size, power and weight of safety-critical aerospace systems. Analytical redundancy has been successfully applied in many non-safety critical applications. However, acceptance for aerospace applications will require new methods to rigorously certify the impact of such algorithms on the overall system reliability. This paper presents a theoretical method to assess the probabilistic performance for an analytically redundant...

Double fault distinguishability in linear systems

Jan Maciej Kościelny, Zofia M. Łabęda-Grudziak (2013)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

This paper develops a new approach to double fault isolation in linear systems with the aid of directional residuals. The method of residual generation for computational as well as internal forms is applied. Isolation of double faults is based on the investigation of the coplanarity of the residual vector with the planes defined by the individual pairs of directional fault vectors. Additionally, the method of designing secondary residuals, which are structured and directional, is proposed....

SMAC-FDI: A single model active fault detection and isolation system for unmanned aircraft

Guillaume J.J. Ducard (2015)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

This article presents a single model active fault detection and isolation system (SMAC-FDI) which is designed to efficiently detect and isolate a faulty actuator in a system, such as a small (unmanned) aircraft. This FDI system is based on a single and simple aerodynamic model of an aircraft in order to generate some residuals, as soon as an actuator fault occurs. These residuals are used to trigger an active strategy based on artificial exciting signals that searches within the residuals...

Detection and identification of loss of efficiency faults of flight actuators

Daniel Ossmann, Andreas Varga (2015)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

We propose linear parameter-varying (LPV) model-based approaches to the synthesis of robust fault detection and diagnosis (FDD) systems for loss of efficiency (LOE) faults of flight actuators. The proposed methods are applicable to several types of parametric (or multiplicative) LOE faults such as actuator disconnection, surface damage, actuator power loss or stall loads. For the detection of these parametric faults, advanced LPV-model detection techniques are proposed, which implicitly...

Nonlinear diagnostic filter design: algebraic and geometric points of view

Alexey Shumsky, Alexey Zhirabok (2006)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

The problem of diagnostic filter design is studied. Algebraic and geometric approaches to solving this problem are investigated. Some relations between these approaches are established. New definitions of fault detectability and isolability are formulated. On the basis of these definitions, a procedure for diagnostic filter design is given in both algebraic and geometric terms.

Fault isolability with different forms of the faults-symptoms relation

Jan Maciej Kościelny, Michał Syfert, Kornel Rostek, Anna Sztyber (2016)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

The definitions and conditions for fault isolability of single faults for various forms of the diagnostic relation are reviewed. Fault isolability and unisolability on the basis of a binary diagnostic matrix are analyzed. Definitions for conditional and unconditional isolability and unisolability on the basis of a fault information system (FIS), symptom sequences and directional residuals are formulated. General definitions for conditional and unconditional isolability and unisolability...

Fault diagnosis of a water for injection system using enhanced structural isolation

Morten Laursen, Mogens Blanke, Dilek Düştegör (2008)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

A water for injection system supplies chilled sterile water as a solvent for pharmaceutical products. There are ultimate requirements for the quality of the sterile water, and the consequence of a fault in temperature or in flow control within the process may cause a loss of one or more batches of the production. Early diagnosis of faults is hence of considerable interest for this process. This study investigates the properties of multiple matchings with respect to isolability, and it...
