Test signal generation for service diagnosis based on local structural properties

Michael Ungermann, Jan Lunze, Dieter Schwarzmann (2012)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

The paper presents a new approach to the generation of test signals used in service diagnosis. The tests make it possible to isolate faults, which are isolable only if the system is brought into specific operating points. The basis for the test signal selection is a structure graph that represents the couplings among the external and internal signals of the system and the fault signals. Graph-theoretic methods are used to identify edges that disappear under certain operating conditions...

Fault diagnosis and fault tolerant control using set-membership approaches: Application to real case studies

Vicenç Puig (2010)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

This paper reviews the use of set-membership methods in fault diagnosis (FD) and fault tolerant control (FTC). Setmembership methods use a deterministic unknown-but-bounded description of noise and parametric uncertainty (interval models). These methods aims at checking the consistency between observed and predicted behaviour by using simple sets to approximate the exact set of possible behaviour (in the parameter or the state space). When an inconsistency is detected between the measured...

Supervisory fault tolerant control of the GTM UAV using LPV methods

Tamás Péni, Báltin Vanek, Zoltán Szabó, József Bakor (2015)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

A multi-level reconfiguration framework is proposed for fault tolerant control of over-actuated aerial vehicles, where the levels indicate how much authority is given to the reconfiguration task. On the lowest, first level the fault is accommodated by modifying only the actuator/sensor configuration, so the fault remains hidden from the baseline controller. A dynamic reallocation scheme is applied on this level. The allocation mechanism exploits the actuator/sensor redundancy available...

Active fault tolerant control of nonlinear systems: The cart-pole example

Marcello Bonfè, Paolo Castaldi, Nicola Mimmo, Silvio Simani (2011)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

This paper describes the design of fault diagnosis and active fault tolerant control schemes that can be developed for nonlinear systems. The methodology is based on a fault detection and diagnosis procedure relying on adaptive filters designed via the nonlinear geometric approach, which allows obtaining the disturbance de-coupling property. The controller reconfiguration exploits directly the on-line estimate of the fault signal. The classical model of an inverted pendulum on a cart...

Actuator fault diagnosis for flat systems: A constraint satisfaction approach

Ramatou Seydou, Tarek Raissi, Ali Zolghadri, Denis Efimov (2013)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

This paper describes a robust set-membership-based Fault Detection and Isolation (FDI) technique for a particular class of nonlinear systems, the so-called flat systems. The proposed strategy consists in checking if the expected input value belongs to an estimated feasible set computed using the system model and the derivatives of the measured output vector. The output derivatives are computed using a numerical differentiator. The set-membership estimator design for the input vector...

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...

Sliding mode methods for fault detection and fault tolerant control with application to aerospace systems

Christopher Edwards, Halim Alwi, Chee Pin Tan (2012)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

Sliding mode methods have been historically studied because of their strong robustness properties with regard to a certain class of uncertainty, achieved by employing nonlinear control/injection signals to force the system trajectories to attain in finite time a motion along a surface in the state-space. This paper will consider how these ideas can be exploited for fault detection (specifically fault signal estimation) and subsequently fault tolerant control. It will also describe applications...
