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...

Decomposition of the symptom observation matrix and grey forecasting in vibration condition monitoring of machines

Czesław Cempel (2008)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

With the tools of modern metrology we can measure almost all variables in the phenomenon field of a working machine, and many of the measured quantities can be symptoms of machine conditions. On this basis, we can form a symptom observation matrix (SOM) intended for condition monitoring and wear trend (fault) identification. On the other hand, we know that contemporary complex machines may have many modes of failure, called faults. The paper presents a method of the extraction of the...

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...

Fault detection and isolation with robust principal component analysis

Yvon Tharrault, Gilles Mourot, José Ragot, Didier Maquin (2008)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

Principal component analysis (PCA) is a powerful fault detection and isolation method. However, the classical PCA, which is based on the estimation of the sample mean and covariance matrix of the data, is very sensitive to outliers in the training data set. Usually robust principal component analysis is applied to remove the effect of outliers on the PCA model. In this paper, a fast two-step algorithm is proposed. First, the objective was to find an accurate estimate of the covariance...

Switching time estimation and active mode recognition using a data projection method

Assia Hakem, Vincent Cocquempot, Komi Midzodzi Pekpe (2016)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

This paper proposes a data projection method (DPM) to detect a mode switching and recognize the current mode in a switching system. The main feature of this method is that the precise knowledge of the system model, i.e., the parameter values, is not needed. One direct application of this technique is fault detection and identification (FDI) when a fault produces a change in the system dynamics. Mode detection and recognition correspond to fault detection and identification, and switching...

Fault monitoring and fault recovery control for position-moored vessels

Shaoji Fang, Mogens Blanke (2011)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

This paper addresses fault-tolerant control for position mooring of a shuttle or floating production storage and offloading vessels. A complete framework for fault diagnosis is presented. A loss of a sub-sea mooring line buoyancy element and line breakage are given particular attention, since such failures might cause high-risk abortion of an oil-loading operation. With significant drift forces from waves, non-Gaussian elements dominate forces and the residuals designed for fault diagnosis....

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....
