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....

A Model-Based Fault Detection and Diagnosis Scheme for Distributed Parameter Systems: A Learning Systems Approach

Michael A. Demetriou (2010)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

In this note, fault detection techniques based on finite dimensional results are extended and applied to a class of infinite dimensional dynamical systems. This special class of systems assumes linear plant dynamics having an abrupt additive perturbation as the fault. This fault is assumed to be linear in the (unknown) constant (and possibly functional) parameters. An observer-based model estimate is proposed which serves to monitor the system's dynamics for unanticipated failures, and...

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...

Fault Tolerant Detectors for Distinguishing Sets in Graphs

Suk J. Seo, Peter J. Slater (2015)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

For various domination-related parameters involving locating devices (distinguishing sets) that function as places from which detectors can determine information about the location of an “intruder”, several types of possible detector faults are identified. Two of these fault tolerant detector types for distinguishing sets are considered here, namely redundant distinguishing and detection distinguishing. Illustrating these concepts, we focus primarily on open-locating-dominating sets. ...

Systematic fault tolerant control based on adaptive Thau observer estimation for quadrotor UAVs

Zhaohui Cen, Hassan Noura, Younes Al Younes (2015)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

A systematic fault tolerant control (FTC) scheme based on fault estimation for a quadrotor actuator, which integrates normal control, active and passive FTC and fault parking is proposed in this paper. Firstly, an adaptive Thau observer (ATO) is presented to estimate the quadrotor rotor fault magnitudes, and then faults with different magnitudes and time-varying natures are rated into corresponding fault severity levels based on the pre-defined fault-tolerant boundaries. Secondly, a...

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...

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...

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,...

Robust fault detection of singular LPV systems with multiple time-varying delays

Amir Hossein Hassanabadi, Masoud Shafiee, Vicenç Puig (2016)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

In this paper, the robust fault detection problem for LPV singular delayed systems in the presence of disturbances and actuator faults is considered. For both disturbance decoupling and actuator fault detection, an unknown input observer (UIO) is proposed. The aim is to compute a residual signal which has minimum sensitivity to disturbances while having maximum sensitivity to faults. Robustness to unknown inputs is formulated in the sense of the H∞ -norm by means of the bounded real...
