The fault system with time delay was transformed to the delay system with the equivalent 2DFM model. Then, based on the equivalent model, to guarantee the realization of the system, a robust iterative learning reliable guaranteed cost method based on 2D dynamic output feedback was proposed with developed learning information. Timedelaydependent sufficient conditions guaranteeing the system stability and best performance was constructed. Furthermore, an optimal design algorithm with expanded learning information of robust iterative faulttolerant guaranteed cost control was derived, while taking the influence of time delay on system stability and performance into consideration. The closedloop system could run smoothly within the fault permissible range when actuator failure occurred. The application on the nozzle pressure in packing phase of injecting modeling process proves the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.

Vibration-Related Fault Diagnosis in Cold Rolling Mill by Using EEMD and SVM YANG Xu1,PENG Kaixiang1,LUO Hao2,KRUEGER Minjia2,ZONG Dazi1,DING Steven X2 2015, 49 (06):  751-756.  Abstract ( 698 )   Save Abstract： By analyzing the vibration process of cold rolling and using the structure model of the rolling system, a dynamic rolling force of the rolling vertical system was built, with the consideration of the influence of rolling vibration. A data-driven fault diagnosis was proposed based on industrial field data by using ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD) and support vector machine (SVM), with the focus on the generalized fault, which were mostly caused by variations of process parameters under complex working conditions. According to the decoupling effect on measured rolling force data with the EEMD algorithm, the intrinsic mode function (IMF) component was defined as fault eigenvector and chosen as the input into the classifier of vector machine. Then, the vibration-related fault of cold rolling mills could be diagnosed by  the distinction between the normal state and the fault state by SVM. References | Related Articles | Metrics

Fault Detection for a Class of Closed-Loop Systems with Distributed Measurements LIU Yang,HE Xiao,ZHOU Donghua 2015, 49 (06):  757-761.  Abstract ( 666 )   Save Abstract： The fault detection problem for a class of closed-loop systems with distributed measurements was considered in the paper. The unmodeled dynamics was taken into account, and thus the feedback control would directly influence the residual signal and the fault detection performance. As a result, the feedback control law was considered in the design of the proposed residual generator. The addressed systems were monitored by multiple distributed sensors, each of which could communicate with its neighboring nodes. In the presence of the unmodeled dynamics and distributed measurements, a least mean-square distributed residual generator was designed, where each node could obtain the residual signals and detect the possible faults based on not only local measurements but also measurements transmitted from its neighboring nodes. The algorithm could be carried out in a recursive way and thus is suitable for online application. A numerical example was provided to show the effectiveness of the proposed strategy.

A Fault Estimation Method Based on Robust Residual Generators QIN Liguoa,HE Xiaoa,b,ZHOU Donghuaa,b 2015, 49 (06):  768-774.  Abstract ( 705 )   Save Abstract： This paper proposed a fault estimation method based on robust residual generators for a linear system. A system with additive actuator or component faults was considered in the case where the number of the independent faults was larger than that of the independent measurements. This method was achieved based on robust residual generators and there was no need to design extra fault estimators. In this method, fault estimation was achieved via three steps. First, coding sets, which describe the sensitivity relationship between faults and generators, are designed. Second, a bank of robust residual generators are designed according to the coding sets. Finally, fault estimation is achieved by using the result of fault isolation and the output of robust residual generators. A sufficient condition on the application of the method was given and the asymptotic convergence property of the estimation error by using the method was proved. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the method. References | Related Articles | Metrics

Two numerical examples demonstrate the effectiveness of these two methods, and a comparison between the proposed methods and the classic PCA-based fault detection method shows that the proposed methods are superior.

Additionally, a data-driven fault reconstruction approach based on threshold fault subspace extraction algorithm was proposed. The proposed fault reconstruction method demonstrates superiority over the traditional method in terms of reconstruction errors. Numerical simulations fully verify the main results.

Incipient Fault Detection Using Transformed Component Statistical Analysis SAHNG Jun,CHEN Maoyin,ZHOU Donghua 2015, 49 (06):  799-805.  Abstract ( 678 )   Save Abstract： Incipient fault detection is of significant importance for preventing the occurrence of accidents. A multivariate analysis method named transformed component statistical analysis (TCSA) was proposed to solve the incipient fault detection problem. The algorithm processes the data in the sliding time window to extract transformed components. Statistics (mean, variance, skewness, kurtosis) of transformed components were monitored to realize the detection of incipient faults. The transformed components extracted by the approach are linear combinations of the normalized data. Statistics of transformed components can reflect some invariants under normal condition. Some incipient faults break the balance and therefore can be detected. Numerical simulation and Tennessee Eastman process (TEP) simulation indicate that TCSA is able to detect both incipient sensor faults and process faults effectively.

Fault-Tolerant Consensus for a Network of Multi-Agent Systems with Actuator Faults ZHANG Xu,CHEN Maoyin,WANG Ling，ZHOU Donghua 2015, 49 (06):  806-811.  Abstract ( 793 )   Save Abstract： A fault tolerant consensus problem for multi-agent systems with actuator faults and exterior disturbance was investigated, where the actuator fault was characterized by gain variation. An adaptive-gain compensating control law was added to the nominal control input to ensure consensus. Relative output information rather than state information was utilized to design the control law. By analyzing the stability of the closed-loop tracking error systems, a sufficient condition for consensus of the original system was proposed. It is shown that as long as the control input of leader agent and the exterior disturbance are bounded by some positive constants, fault-tolerant consensus can be realized by appropriately choosing the design parameters. A numerical simulation validates the main results. References | Related Articles | Metrics

A reduced-order unknown input observer was designed and a novel truncated residual was constructed by introducing a sliding time window, which is decoupled from the unknown disturbances, but sensitive to the IF. Two hypothesis tests were put forward to detect all the appearing time and the disappearing time of the IF, respectively. In addition, for the given false alarm rate and the missing detection rate, the detection thresholds for the appearing time and the disappearing time of the IF were rigorously designed for desired performances, respectively， and the detectability of the IF was also analyzed in a probabilistic sense. The simulation results on a satellite model were presented to verify the proposed method. The results illustrate that both the appearing time and the disappearing time of the IF can be detected fast and validly in spite of unknown disturbances. References | Related Articles | Metrics

Fault Diagnosis Algorithm of Based Feature Subspace Estimation in Small Sample Circumstance HOU Yandong,YAN Zhiyu,JIN Yong 2015, 49 (06):  825-829.  Abstract ( 762 )   Save Abstract： To solve the problem that a robust covariance matrix cannot be obtained because of insufficient samples in principal component analysis, the covariance matrix was transformed into the feature subspace estimation problem by introducing the idea of CS decomposition Bayesian spatial estimation. First, the SPE (squard prediction error) statistic threshold and failure mode feature subspace matrix library were established using a large number of historical data using PCA offline. When there exists an abnormal condition in the online system, only a small sample of failure data can be obtained due to the effect of a certain environment. However, the feature subspace matrix can be obtained using a small sample data. Then, fault diagnosis was completed by comparing the similarity between the feature subspace and the failure mode subspace. Finally, the feasibility and effectiveness of this method was verified by simulation. References | Related Articles | Metrics

Terminal Sliding Mode Observer Based Fault Reconstruction for Underwater Vehicle Thruster CHU Zhenzhong1,ZHU Daqi1,ZHANG Mingjun2 2015, 49 (06):  837-841.  Abstract ( 727 )   Save Abstract： A fault reconstruction method based on terminal sliding mode observer was proposed in this paper. In the traditional sliding mode observer, the estimated error of unmeasured state is asymptotic convergence, which affects the timeliness of thruster fault reconstruction. In response to the above problem, the property of finite time convergence of terminal sliding mode was used to build a terminal sliding mode observer to ensure that all of the state estimation errors converge in a finite time. Then the thruster fault was reconstructed by using the equivalent output error infection method. Finally, the proposed method was validated by simulation. References | Related Articles | Metrics

Therefore, a novel improved image clearness method based on dark channel prior was proposed to solve this insufficient. First, dark color image was obtained and decomposed by wavelet. Next, the smooth portion  from wavelet decomposition was used as the target image, in which global atmospheric optical A and the dark channel value were calculated, and then, the edge information of target image was extracted and dilated. After that, according to the expanded binary edge image, the dark channel value in edges and that in smooth were optimized, respectively. Finally, according to the transmission map calculated using the optimized dark channel values, the fogfree image was obtained by using the physical model. The experiment results show that this method can effectively restore the fogging images and greatly reduce the time complexity brought by the soft matting algorithm.

Multimode Process Monitoring Based on Local Neighborhood Standardization Strategy GUO Hongjie1,XU Chunling2,SHI Hongbo1 2015, 49 (06):  868-875.  Abstract ( 79 )   Save Abstract： Complex chemical processes often have multiple operating modes to meet the changes of production condition. The actual industrial processes often contain multiple operating modes and the process data is no longer solely Gaussian or nonGaussian distribution.The multimode characteristics and the uncertainty of data distribution within one single mode make the conventional multivariate statistical process monitoring methods unsuitable for fault detection.To solve the problem of multiple operating modes and complex data distribution, this paper proposed a novel multimode data processing method called local neighborhood standardization (LNS) and local density factor. The LNS was used in data preprocessing and the local density factor was used as a monitoring statistic value. The validity and effectiveness of the proposed method were illustrated through a numerical example and the Tennessee Eastman process. References | Related Articles | Metrics

Low-Speed Small Target Detection Based on SVD and Superposition GAO Jingli1，WEN Chenglin2，LIU Meiqin1 2015, 49 (06):  876-883.  Abstract ( 162 )   Save Abstract： In the case of the measurement noises obtained from the same pixel position in a set of images which are ergodic, the feasibility of superposition method for target detection was analyzed, based on which, a superposition-based lowspeed small target detection algorithm was proposed. First, the energy variation of the target synthesis images and the noise synthesis images were analysized, when the targets were non-overlapped, completely overlapped and partially overlapped. The analysis shows that with the increase in the superimposed number, the energy of the noise synthesis images is attenuated faster than that of the target synthesis images, thus ensuring an increase in the ratio of target to noise in synthesis images. Second, depending on the characteristics of singular values of the synthesis images, the uneven variations of the standardized singular values were used for target detection. The simulation verifies the attenuation of the target energy and noise energy of the synthesis images, and analyzes the impact of superimposed number， target size and strength on target detectability.

Multi-Carrier Control Strategy for a Three-Level Inverter Tolerant Topology CHEN Danjiang1，YE Yinzhong2 2015, 49 (06):  907-912.  Abstract ( 118 )   Save Abstract： Since multi-level inverter has a lot of advantages over the two-level inverter, it is widely used in high power and other situation. However, its complex topology also brings a relatively large probability of failure problem. In studying on fault diagnosis and tolerant multi-level inverter, a lot of new fault tolerant topologies were proposed. Aimed at a NPC inverter tolerant topology with asymmetrical bridge, control strategies were studied in this paper. This tolerant topology has a two-level bridge and some three-level bridges. It is proposed that the phase between triangular carrier of the twolevel bridge and multi-carrier of three-level bridges will affect the output characteristics of the circuit. When both carriers are in the same phase, the harmonic content of the output voltage waveform is relatively small. The theoretical analysis and experimental results verified the effectiveness of the topology. References | Related Articles | Metrics
