Fault diagnosis is key to ensuring system safety through fault-adaptive control. This task is difficult in hybrid systems with combined continuous and discrete behaviors because mode changes make diagnosability hard to achieve. Including additional sensors can improve diagnosability, but that is not always feasible. An alternative strategy is active diagnosis, where we improve the diagnosis res...

This paper deals with the verification of efficiency of the novel on-chip OBIST (Oscillation Built-In Self Test) strategy by comparison the fault coverage in selected types of active analog integrated filters. Fault coverage obtained by OBIST approach was compared to fault coverage results obtained by the measurement and evaluation of filters’ selected parameters.

This paper presented a novel decentralized fault tolerant control strategy for the control of linear multivariable processes. The multiple model based fault tolerant method is used to improve system performance (under model uncertainty and slow variation) and implement active fault tolerant control. In the mean time, we extended the decentralized unconditional stable control to multiple model c...

Fault diagnosis is a central aspect of network fault management. Since faults are unavoidable in communication systems, their quick detection and isolation is essential for the robustness, reliability, and accessibility of a system. In large and complex communication networks, automating fault diagnosis is critical. Traditionally, fault localization has been performed manually by experts but, a...

The lining structure of Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) excavated tunnels is composed of series of precast Reinforced Concrete (RC) pieces which are called segment. At the present paper, a novel method is introduced for seismic retrofitting of segmental tunnels located at active fault zones in rock environment with case study of Amirkabir dam to Tehran water transfer tunnel (Karadj tunnel). The mai...

Different fault reasoning techniques are used in fault localization for either deterministic or probabilistic fault causality model. Symptom-Fault map is commonly used to describe Symptom-Fault causality in fault reasoning. However lost and spurious symptoms severely affect both performance and accuracy of fault reasoning. In this paper, we propose an extended Symptom-Fault-Action model to inco...

s – Detection of minor faults in power transformer active part is essential because minor faults may develop and lead to major faults and finally irretrievable damages occur. Sweep Frequency Response Analysis (SFRA) is an effective low-voltage, off-line diagnostic tool used for finding out any possible winding displacement or mechanical deterioration inside the Transformer, due to large electro...
