Through the eemd decomposition of the single-channel mechanical vibration observation signal the multidimensional IMF components are obtained, and the principal component analysis (PCA) is performed on the matrix of these IMF components. The number of principal components is determined and a new matrix is generated to satisfy the overdetermined blind source separation conditions, the new matrix input RobustICA, to achieve the separation of the source signal. Finally, the isolated signals are respectively analyzed by the envelope spectrum, the fault frequency is extracted, and the fault type is judged according to the prior knowledge. The experiment was carried out by using the simulation signal and the mechanical signal. The results show that the algorithm is effective and can accurately diagnose the location of mechanical fault.展开更多

This task requires fast and accurate inferences based on big volume of data, and the problem of fault identification in an unstructured graph has been proved to be NP-hard (non-deterministic polynomial-time hard). In this paper, we adopt the PMC diagnostic model (first proposed by Preparata, Metze, and Chien) as the foundation of point-to-point probing technology, and a system contains only restricted-faults if every of its fault-free units has at least one fault-free neighbor. Under this condition we propose an efficient method of identifying restricted-faults in the folded hypercube, which is a promising alternative to the popular hypercube topology.展开更多

In other words, protocols with the fault-tolerance can not be provided when some fault occurs. This paper discusses the self fault-tolerance of protocols.

Our method is based on the analysis of the early fault features on AERS, and it combined the SVM (Support Vector Machine) with the stochastic resonance theory and the wavelet packet decomposition and fault self-recovery. First, we zoom the early fault feature signals by using the stochastic resonance theory. Second, we extract the feature vectors of early fault using the multi-resolution analysis of the wavelet packet. Third, we input the feature vectors to a fault classifier, which can be used to identify the early fault of AERS and carry out self-recovery monitoring of fault. In this paper, features of early fault on AERS, the zoom of early fault characteristics, the extraction method of early fault characteristics, the construction of multi-fault classifier and way of fault self-recovery monitoring are studied. Results show that our method can effectively identify the early fault of AERS, especially for identifying of fault with small samples, and it can carry on self-recovery monitoring of fault.展开更多

The aim of our research is to characterize self-test and repair processes in Fault Tolerant(FT) dr-FPGA systems in the presence of environmental faults and explore their interrelationships. We develop a Continuous Time Markov Chain(CTMC) model that captures the high level fail-repair processes on a dr-FPGA with periodic online Built-In Self-Test(BIST) and scrubbing to detect and repair faults with minimum latency. Simulation results reveal that given an average fault interval of 36 s, an optimum self-test interval of 48.3 s drives the system to spend 13% of its time in self-tests, remain in safe working states for 76% of its time and face risky fault-prone states for only 7% of its time. Further, we demonstrate that a well-tuned repair strategy boosts overall system availability, minimizes the occurrence of unsafe states, and accommodates a larger range of fault rates within which the system availability remains stable within 10% of its maximum level.展开更多

The self-learning algorithm creates models of the object under consideration. The models are formed periodically through a certain time period. The model includes a set of functions that can describe whole object, or a part of the object, or a specified functionality of the object. Thus, information about fault location can be obtained. During operation of the object the algorithm collects data received from sensors. Then the algorithm creates samples related to steady state operation. Clustering of those samples is used for the functions definition. Values of the functions in the centers of clusters are stored in the computer’s memory. To illustrate the considered approach, its application to the diagnosis of turbomachines is described.展开更多
