Fault detection and post-fault operation are two functionalities of modern fault-tolerant system. In this paper, a new current predictive method for single open-phase fault (SOPF) detection in permanent magnet synchronous machine (PMSM) is presented. Major advantage of the proposed method is the capability of detecting open-phase fault in a few sampling intervals (few hundreds of μs). Also, an ...

In diagnostic testing faults detectable by test vectors are partitioned into groups. This partitioning is such that a fault is distinguishable from faults in all other groups, but is indistinguishable from those in its own group. Diagnostic fault coverage (DC) is defined as the number of fault groups divided by the total number of faults. We present a new diagnostic fault simulation algorithm t...

Seismic isolation is a powerful tool for mitigating seismic risk and improving structural performance. However, some parameters, such as earthquake inputs soil characteristics, influence the technology’s This research aims to investigate effects of soil–structure interaction (SSI) with regard different moderate earthquakes associated distances source site, frequency content, characteristics on ...

A considerable amount of energy is released in the form of shock wave from explosive charge detonation. Shock wave energy is responsible for the creation of crushing and fracture zone around the blast hole. The rest of the shock wave energy is transferred to rock mass as ground vibration. Ground vibration is conveyed to the adjacent structures by body and surface waves. Geological structures li...

The fault diagnosis of the dissolved gas analysis (DGA) of the power transformer is to be enhanced than previous adopted techniques; this paper proposes a novel adaptive neuro Fuzzy inference system for the incipient fault recognition through enhanced approach. Complying with the practical DGA records and associated fault causes as much as possible, an ANFIS algorithm is presented to establish ...

This study focuses on developing fragility-based seismic vulnerability assessment techniques for seismically retrofitted multi-column bridge bent. Fragility curves are developed using Probabilistic Seismic Demand Model (PSDM) to assess the relative performance of different retrofit methods under near fault ground motions. Two different retrofit techniques namely CFRP jacketing and ECC jacketing...

In robotics, exogenous fault detection is the process through which one robot detects faults that occur in other, physically separate robots. In this paper, we study exogenous fault detection in a collective leader-follower task for autonomous robots. We record sensory inputs from the robots while they are operating normally and after simulated faults have been injected. Given that faults are s...
