Title: Adaptive Particle Filtering for Fault Detection in Partially-Observed Boolean Dynamical Systems
We propose a novel methodology for fault detection and diagnosis in partially-observed Boolean dynamical systems (POBDS). These are stochastic, highly nonlinear, and derivative- less systems, rendering difficult the application of classical fault detection and diagnosis methods. The methodology comprises two main approaches. The first addresses the case when the normal mode of operation is known but not the fault modes. It applies an innovations filter (IF) to detect deviations from the nominal normal mode of operation. The second approach is applicable when the set of possible fault models is finite and known, in which case we employ a multiple model adaptive estimation (MMAE) approach based on a likelihood-ratio (LR) statistic. Unknown system parameters are estimated by an adaptive expectation- maximization (EM) algorithm. Particle filtering techniques are used to reduce the computational complexity in the case of systems with large state-spaces. The efficacy of the proposed methodology is demonstrated by numerical experiments with a large gene regulatory network (GRN) with stuck-at faults observed through a single noisy time series of RNA-seq gene expression measurements.  more » « less

  1. This paper presents an adaptive functional estimation scheme for the fault detection and diagnosis of nonlinear faults in positive real infinite dimensional systems. The system is assumed to satisfy a positive realness condition and the fault, taking the form of a nonlinear function of the output, is assumed to enter the system at an unknown time. The proposed detection and diagnostic observer utilizes a Reproducing Kernel Hilbert Space as the parameter space and via a Lyapunov redesign approach, the learning scheme for the unknown functional is used for the detection of the fault occurrence, the diagnosis of the fault and finally its accommodation via an adaptive control reconfiguration. Results on parabolic PDEs with either boundary or in-domain actuation and sensing are included.

  2. Abstract

    The fault diagnosis of bearing in machinery system plays a vital role in ensuring the normal operating performance of system. Machine learning-based fault diagnosis using vibration measurement recently has become a prevailing approach, which aims at identifying the fault through exploring the correlation between the measurement and respective fault. Nevertheless, such correlation will become very complex for the practical scenario where the system is operated under time-varying conditions. To fulfill the reliable bearing fault diagnosis under time-varying condition, this study presents a tailored deep learning model, so called deep long short-term memory (LSTM) network. By fully exploiting the strength of this model in characterizing the temporal dependence of time-series vibration measurement, the negative consequence of time-varying conditions can be minimized, thereby improving the diagnosis performance. The published bearing dataset with various time-varying operating speeds is utilized in case illustrations to validate the effectiveness of proposed methodology.

  3. Faults in components (valves, sensors, etc.) of radiant floor heating and cooling systems affect the efficiency, cooling and heating capacity as well as the reliability of the system. While various fault detection and diagnostic (FDD) methods have been developed and tested for building systems, FDD algorithms for radiant heating and cooling systems have previously not been available. This paper presents an evolving learning-based FDD approach for a radiant floor heating and cooling system based on growing Gaussian mixture regression (GGMR). The experimental space was controlled with a building automation system (BAS) in which the operating conditions can be monitored, and control parameters can be overridden to desired values. Trend data for normal operation and faulty operation were collected. A total of six fault types with different severities in a radiant floor system were emulated through overriding control parameters. An FDD model based on the GGMR approach was developed with training data and the performance of the model was tested for "known" faults that were including in the training and new "unknown" faults that were implemented in the fault testing. The prediction accuracy for each known fault was extremely high with the lowest prediction accuracy of 98% for one of the faults. The algorithm was successful in detecting the new fault as an unknown state before evolving the model and in diagnosing it as a new fault after evolving the model.

  4. Abstract

    Timely and accurate bearing fault detection plays an important role in various industries. Data-driven deep learning methods have recently become a prevailing approach for bearing fault detection. Despite the success of deep learning, fault diagnosis performance is hinged upon the size of labeled data, the acquisition of which oftentimes is expensive in actual practice. Unlabeled data, on the other hand, are inexpensive. To fully utilize a large amount of unlabeled data together with limited labeled data to enhance fault detection performance, in this research, we develop a semi-supervised learning method built upon the autoencoder. In this method, a joint loss is established to account for the effects of both the labeled and unlabeled data, which is subsequently used to direct the backpropagation training. Systematic case studies using the Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) rolling bearing dataset are carried out, in which the effectiveness of this new method is verified by comparing it with other benchmark models.

  5. Fault diagnosis of rolling bearings becomes an important research subject, where the data-driven deep learning-based techniques have been extensively exploited. While the state-of-the-art research has shown the substantial progresses in bearing fault diagnosis, they mostly were implemented upon the hypothesis that the location of bearing prone to failure already is known. Nevertheless, in actual practice many rolling bearings are installed in a complex machinery system, any of which is likely subject to fault. As such, fault diagnosis essentially is a process to achieve both fault localization and identification, which results in many fault scenarios to be handled. This will significantly degrade the fault diagnosis performance using conventional deep learning analysis. In this research, we aim to develop a new deep learning framework to address abovementioned challenge. We particularly design a hierarchical deep learning framework consisting of multiple sequentially deployed deep learning models built upon the transfer learning. This can improve the learning adequacy for a high-dimensional problem with many fault scenarios involved even under limited dataset, thereby enhancing the fault diagnosis performance. Without the prior knowledge regarding the fault location, this methodology is greatly favored by the sensor/data fusion which takes full advantage of the enriched pivot fault-related features in the measurements acquired from different accelerometers. Systematic case studies using the publicly accessible experimental rolling bearing dataset are carried out to validate this new methodology.
