A System-Level Approach to Fault Progression Analysis in Complex Engineering Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
Complex engineering systems consist of many subsystems. Each of the subsystems is composed of a large number of components. While faults arise at component level, sensing capabilities are limited to subsystem level, and system operations and maintenance practices are scheduled based on system level paremeters. This paper presents a hierarchical architecture to analyze the effects of system level parameters on component level faults of dominant failure modes of a complex system. An aeropropulsion system of turbofan type has been used as the application domain. In most of the cases, engine life is limited due to cracks in high-pressure turbine blades. In this paper, it is assumed that creep is the only active failure mechanism. Based on a finite-element model of the turbine blades available in the open literature, design of experiments (DoE) methodology is used to build a subsystem-level model. A simulation package of a commercial aircraft engine is then used to obtain system-level results.

Nowadays, faults and failures are increasing especially in complex systems such as Network-on-Chip (NoC) based Systems-on-a-Chip due to the increasing susceptibility and decreasing feature sizes. On the other hand, fault-tolerant routing algorithms have an evident effect on tolerating permanent faults and improving the reliability of a Network-on-Chip based system. This paper presents reliabili...

متن کاملFault Identification using end-to-end data by imperialist competitive algorithm
Faults in computer networks may result in millions of dollars in cost. Faults in a network need to be localized and repaired to keep the health of the network. Fault management systems are used to keep today’s complex networks running without significant cost, either by using active techniques or passive techniques. In this paper, we propose a novel approach based on imperialist competitive alg...

متن کاملFault Type Estimation in Power Systems
This paper presents a novel approach for fault type estimation in power systems. The Fault type estimation is the first step to estimate instantaneous voltage, voltage sag magnitude and duration in a three-phase system at fault duration. The approach is based on time-domain state estimation where redundant measurements are available. The current based model allows a linear mapping between the m...
