Simulating Models for Fault Diagnosis in Dynamic Systems
A physical system, in its life cycle, can be subject to failures or malfunctions that can compromise its normal operation. It is therefore necessary to introduce a fault diagnosis system within a plant capable of preventing critical interruptions. This is called a fault diagnosis system and it is capable of identifying the possible presence of a malfunction within the monitored system. The search for the fault is one of the most important and qualifying maintenance intervention phases and it is necessary to act in a systematic and deterministic way. To carry out a complete search for the fault, it is necessary to analyze all the possible causes that may have determined it.
In this chapter, we will learn how to approach fault diagnosis using a simulation model. We will start by exploring the basic concepts of fault diagnosis. Then, we will learn how to implement a model for fault diagnosis for a motor gearbox. In the last part...
