In this paper, the analytical fault detection and diagnosis (FDD) is presented using model-based and signal-based methodology with wavelet analysis on signals obtained from sensors and sensor networks. In the model-based FDD, we present the modeling of contact interface found in soft materials, including the biomedical contacts. Fingerprint analysis and signal-based FDD are also presented with an experimental framework consisting of a mechanical pneumatic system typically found in manufacturing automation. This diagnosis system focuses on the signal-based approach which employs multi-resolution wavelet decomposition of various sensor signals such as pressure, flow rate, etc., to determine leak configuration. Pattern recognition technique and analytical vectorized maps are developed to diagnose an unknown leakage based on the established FDD information using the affine mapping. Experimental studies and analysis are presented to illustrate the FDD methodology. Both model-based and wavelet-based FDD applied in contact interface and manufacturing automation have implication towards better quality of life by applying theory and practice to understand how effective diagnosis can be made using intelligent FDD. As an illustration, a model-based contact surface technology an benefit the diabetes with the detection of abnormal contact patterns that may result in ulceration if not detected and treated in time, thus, improving the quality of life of the patients. Ultimately, effective diagnosis using FDD with wavelet analysis, whether it is employed in biomedical applications or manufacturing automation, can have impacts on improving our quality of life.

An AC generator is an important components in producing a electric power and so it requires highly reliable protection relays to minimize the possibility of demage occurring under fault conditions. Conventionally, a DFT based RDR has been used for protecting the generator stator winding. However, when DFTs based on Fourier analysis are used, it has been pointed out that defects can occur during the process of transforming a time domain signal into a frequency domain one which can lead to loss of time domain information. This paper proposes the internal fault detection and fault type discrimination for the stator winding by applying the detailed coefficients by Daubechies Wavelet Transform to overcome the defects in the DFT process. For the case studies reported in the paper, a model system was established for the simulations utilizing the ATP, and this verified the effectiveness of the proposed technique through various off-line tests carried out on the collected data. The propose method is shown to be able to rapidly identify internal fault and did not operate a miss-operation for all the external fault tested.

최근 소프트웨어 신뢰성을 평가하기 위해 신뢰성 측도와 커버리지 간의 관계가 연구되고 있다. 특히 커버리지에 기반한 소프트웨어 신뢰성 성장 모델에서 평균치 함수는 소프트웨어의 신뢰성 성장을 나타내는데 매우 중요한 역할을 한다. 본 논문은 커버리지에 기반한 기존 모형들의 문제점을 평균치 함수와 그 모형이 근거하는 가정을 바탕으로 파악하고, 그 문제점을 해결하기 위한 새로운 평균치 함수를 제안한다. 제안된 새로운 평균치 함수는 불완전 결함 발견과 구문의 반복 실행이 허용되는 일반적인 테스팅 환경에서 도출된 결과이다. 마지막으로 실제 데이터에 제안된 모형을 적용하여 그 성능을 평가한다.

This paper presents an internal oil leakage detection problem for a hydraulic single-rod cylinder. We derive the dynamics of the hydraulic cylinder as a state space model, and then design a T—S fuzzy model-based fault detection observer. We adopt an H_∞ observer design scheme so that the observer is robust against disturbance and relatively sensitive to the leakage fault. Sufficient design conditions are derived in the form of linear matrix inequalities. A numerical example is provided to verify the proposed techniques.

This paper presents stochastic methodology based fault diction and diagnosis algorithm for induction motor systems. First, we construct probability distribution model from healthy motors and then probability distribution for faulty motors is recursively calculated by means of the proposed probability estimation. We measure motor current with hall sensors as system state. The estimated probability is compared to the model to generate a residue signal which is utilized for fault detection and diagnosis, that is, where a fault is occurred. We carry out real-time induction motor experiment to evaluate efficiency and reliability of the proposed approach.

This paper presents stochastic methodology based fault detection algorithm for induction motor systems. We measure current of healthy induction motors by means of hall sensor systems and then establish its probability distribution. We propose online probability density estimation which is effective in real-time implementation due to its simplicity and low computational burden. In addition, we accomplish theoretical analysis to demonstrate convergence property of the proposed estimation by using statistical convergence and system stability theory. We apply our fault diagnosis approach to three-phase induction motors and achieve real-time experiment for evaluating its reliability and practicability in industrial fields.

In this paper we propose an FDI(fault detection and isolation) algorithm to detect and isolate single faults in linear systems. When a change in the system occurs the errors between the system output and the estimated output cross a threshold, and once a fault in the system is detected, the FCFM statistically isolates the fault by using the error between each neural network based fault model output and the system output.

Many software reliability growth models (SRGM's) based on a nonhomogeneous Poisson process (NHPP) have been proposed by many researchers. Most of the SRGM's which have been proposed up to the present treat the event of software fault-detection in the testing and operational phases as a counting process. However, if the size of the software system is large, the number of software faults detected during the testing phase becomes large, and the change of the number of faults which are detected and removed through debugging activities becomes sufficiently small compared with the initial fault content at the beginning of the testing phase. Therefore, in such a situation, we can model the software fault-detection process as a stochastic process with a continuous state space. In this paper, we propose a new software reliability growth model describing the fault-detection process by applying a mathematical technique of stochastic differential equations of an Ito type. We also compare our model with the existing SRGM's in terms of goodness-of-fit for actual data sets.

모델기반 FDI 과정에서 모델오차와 센서잡음은 피할 수 없으므로 견실성은 모델기반 FDI에서 매우 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 선형모델 오차 및 신호잡음으로 인하여 고장진단 과정에서 발생하는 결함판단 오류들을 비선형 NARX (Nonlinear Auto Regressive eXogenous) 모델과 칼만추정기를 적용하여 개선하는 방법을 제안하였다. 최종 고장판단은 퍼지로직을 이용하여 발생하는 오차의 추이에 대한 확률로 결정하여 순간적인 신호잡음에 강인하도록 설계하였다. 시뮬레이션을 통하여 운용 환경조건에서 엔진제어기의 고장허용에 따른 성능을 확인하였다.

Inverters are considered the basic building blocks of industrial electrical drive systems that are widely used for various applications; however, the failure of electronic switches mainly affects the constancy of these inverters. For safe and reliable operation of an electrical drive system, faults in power electronic switches must be detected by an efficient system that is capable of identifying the type of faults. In this paper, an open switch fault identification technique for a three-phase inverter is presented. Single, double, and triple switching faults can be diagnosed using this method. The detection mechanism is based on stator current analysis. Discrete wavelet transform (DWT) using Daubechies is performed on the Clarke transformed (-) stator current and features are extracted from the wavelets. An artificial neural network is then used for the detection and identification of faults. To prove the feasibility of this method, a Simulink model of the DWT-based feature extraction scheme using a neural network for the proposed fault detection system in a three-phase inverter with an induction motor is briefly discussed with simulation results. The simulation results show that the designed system can detect faults quite efficiently, with the ability to differentiate between single and multiple switching faults.
