The ability to stop a gear fatigue test before catastrophic failure has many advantages. However, today, widely accepted approach is not available. This case study applies vibration-based condition monitoring methodology detect early failures. studied takes part in an all-wheel-drive drivetrain system. Vibration signals from four run-to-failure tests at two constant torque-speed combinations we...

It is widely recognized that distributed systems would greatly benefit from the availability of a generic failure detection service. There are however several issues that must be addressed before such a service can actually be implemented. In this paper, we highlight the main issues related to ensuring failure detection in large-scale systems, and overview the main solutions proposed in the lit...

Grid computing presents a new trend to distributed and Internet computing to coordinate large scale resources sharing and problem solving in dynamic, multi-institutional virtual organizations. Due to the diverse failures and error conditions in the grid environments, developing, deploying, and executing applications over the grid is a challenge, thus dependability is a key factor for grid compu...
