Fault Detection and Diagnosis in Nonlinear Systems, with a Focus on Mining Truck Suspension Strut
DownloadSpring 2014
Classical fault detection methods do not completely satisfy the reliability requirement for complex and highly nonlinear stochastic systems. One solution to this problem is to use more advances fault detection methods such as multiple models to simulate system in different operating...
