Event‐based fault detection for non‐linear networked systems with multi‐data transmission and output quantisation

This paper deal with the problem of the fault detection (FD) filter design for continuous-time switched systems with actuator faults. The actuator faults and the unknown disturbances of the system are set in finite frequency domain. By using the switched Lyapunov function and the average dwell-time (ADT) techniques, efficient conditions are obtained, which can realize the residual signal sensitive to the fault and robust to the unknown disturbances. In the design of fault detection filter, we use Linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) conditions to guarantee the finite frequency H∞ and H - performance index. Finally, a practical example is provided and simulation results are conducted to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

This paper is concerned with the event-triggered fault detection filter (FDF) design for an unmanned surface vehicle (USV) under the network environment. A framework of fault detection is established for a USV subject to wave-induced disturbance and actuator failures, in which an FDF is utilized to construct a residual model and an integral-based event generator is introduced to save communication resources. Compared with the traditional instantaneous value based event-triggering scheme and periodic sampling, the proposed event-triggering mechanism can not only reduce bandwidth utilization of the network more significantly, but also get rid of the Zeno phenomenon fundamentally. The event-triggering scheme and the FDF are co-designed. Finally, the efficient performance of the proposed fault detection method based on integral-based event-triggering scheme is illustrated by simulation.

Robust fault detection of Markovian jump systems with different system modes

This study investigates the problem of fault detection (FD) filter design for a class of uncertain Lipschitz systems with time delays, unknown faults, parameter uncertainties and bounded disturbances. A novel FD filter is proposed and the augmented filter system is converted to a linear parameter varying (LPV) system by the reformulated Lipschitz property. Then, two bounded real lemmas (BRLs) are given for the generated residual signal to achieve the fault sensitivity performance in low-/middle-/high-frequency domains and disturbance attenuation performance in the full-frequency domain. Next, the obtained BRLs are further converted into a set of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) to implement the filter design. Finally, two illustrative simulations including a numerical example and Chua's circuit system clearly demonstrate the advantages of the developed FD scheme.

Robust fault detection for a class of nonlinear time-delay systems

This paper proposes a novel full-order and reduced-order fault detection filters (FDFs) design method for singular continuous-time Markovian jump systems (SCTMJSs) with completely known transition rates (TRs). In order to strengthen the reliability of full-order and reduced-order (FDFs), we incorporates the idea of congruent transformation Lyapunov matrix to solve the convex optimization problem. The superiority of this kind of design method is that shows full-order and reduced-order FDFs can be expressed by an inequality and effective. Particularly necessary to point out that the reduced-order fault detection filter (FDF) has fewer variables and shortens the time of fault detection (FD) compared with full-order FDF. At the end of this paper, an illustrative simulation example is given to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.

The study focuses on the fault detection filter design problem for a class of networked systems with intermittent measurements. The fault detection filter, which is used as residual generator, is formulated as an filtering form. The random packet dropouts are governed by a Bernoulli distributed sequence, and the packet dropout rate is uncertain and variable, which is described by a semi‐Markov stochastic process. A more general class of Lyapunov functions that not only depend on the system modes, but also on the staying time during the current system mode is utilised. Afterwards, numerically testable sufficient conditions on the existence of a desired fault detection filter are established such that the filtering error system is ‐error mean square stable with a prescribed disturbance attenuation level. Finally, an illustrative example is provided not only to demonstrate the effectiveness of the designed filter and the superiority of the utilisation of semi‐Markov chain, but also the necessity of considering the variation of packet dropout rate in the design phase.

This brief concerns the event-triggered fault detection problem for a class of networked nonlinear stochastic systems with randomly occurring dropouts and time-varying delays to guarantee the safety and reliability of systems. In order to save limited communication bandwidth, a novel adaptive memory-based event-triggered scheme (ETS) is developed, based on which a memory-based fault detection filter (FDF) is constructed to generate residual signal. Then, an event-triggered fault detection framework is established, which is mainly composed of stochastic system, ETS, FDF, fault weighting, and residual evaluation. With considering the ETS, random dropouts, and time-varying transmission delays, the criterion of mean-square asymptotic stability and <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$H_{\infty }$ </tex-math></inline-formula> performance is given such that the residual signal is sensitive to faults while robust against disturbance. Then, the co-design method of memory-based ETS and FDF is proposed. Finally, a simulation case is provided to demonstrate the effectiveness and advantages of the proposed method.

SummaryThis article focuses on the issue of event‐triggered fault detection filters (FDF) design for networked switched systems. Compared with the existing fault detection literature, this article investigates the situation that all subsystems are unstable, and considers that stochastic cyber attacks will disrupt fault detection. An event‐triggered mechanism (ETM) that excludes Zeno behavior naturally is designed to economize limited network resources. Then considering the ETM‐induced delay term, the dynamics of the initial system combined with the ETM, fault detection filters, and the effects of cyber attacks are formulated as a new augment switched delayed residual model. Based on the constructed multiple piecewise discretized Lyapunov–Krasovskii function (MPDLKF) and the mode‐dependent dwell time (MDDT) method, sufficient conditions are obtained to guarantee globally mean‐square uniformly asymptotically stability of the new augment system. Moreover, a co‐design method of ETM matrices and FDF gains is proposed. Finally, simulation results are provided to verify the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed method.

The fault detection filter design problem of the high speed trains (HSTs) is systematically studied in this paper. First, an uncertain polytopic linear system is introduced to model the nonlinear uncertainty of the HSTs. And then a general structure of multi-objective H_/H ∞ fault detection filters is proposed. Necessary and sufficient conditions for both robustness condition referred to as H ∞ performance index and sensitivity condition expressed as H − performance index are given in the form of matrix inequality. In order to handle conflicting H − performance index and H ∞ performance index, a linear matrix inequality (LMI) based iterative algorithm is provided to obtain the desired filter. Finally, a numerical simulation is conducted to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed iterative algorithm.

SUMMARYIn this paper, the fault detection problem is investigated for a class of discrete‐time switched singular systems with time‐varying state delays. The residual generator is firstly constructed based on a switched filter, and the design of fault detection filter is formulated as an H ∞ filtering problem, that is, minimizing the error between residual and fault in the H ∞ sense. Then, by constructing an appropriate decay‐rate‐dependent piecewise Lyapunov function and using the average dwell time scheme, a sufficient condition for the residual system to be regular, causal, and exponential stable while satisfying a prescribed H ∞ performance is derived in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). The corresponding solvability condition for the desired fault detection filters is also established via LMI approach. Finally, a numerical example is presented to show the effectiveness of the developed theoretical results.Copyright © 2012 John Wiley &amp; Sons, Ltd.

The problem of fault detection for networked control systems with time-delay is investigated. Attention is focused on the design of fault detection filter based on states observer, which guarantees a pre-specified Hinfin performance for the closed-loop system with respect to all energy-bounded input signals. Using LMI and Lyapunov function technology, sufficient conditions for existence of such filter is established in terms of linear matrix inequalities, upon which the design of admissible filter is cast into a convex optimization problem. The proposed approach can be further extended to uncertain networked control systems. The simulation results demonstrate that the method is effective and robust.
