Springer Advanced methods for fault diagnosis and fault-tolerant control

The major objective of this book is to introduce advanced design and (online) optimization methods for fault diagnosis and fault-tolerant control from different aspects. Under the aspect of system types, fault diagnosis and fault-tolerant issues are dealt with for linear time-invariant and time-varying systems as well as for nonlinear and distributed (including networked) systems. From the methodological point of view, both model-based and data-driven schemes are investigated. To allow for a self-contained study and enable an easy implementation in real applications, the necessary knowledge as well as tools in mathematics and control theory are included in this book. The main results with the fault diagnosis and fault-tolerant schemes are presented in form of algorithms and demonstrated by means of benchmark case studies.  The intended audience of this book are process and control engineers, engineering students and researchers with control engineering background. From the Back Cover After the first two books have been dedicated to model-based and data-driven fault diagnosis respectively, this book addresses topics in both model-based and data-driven thematic fields with considerable focuses on fault-tolerant control issues and application of machine learning methods. The major objective of the book is to study basic fault diagnosis and fault-tolerant control problems and to build a framework for long-term research efforts in the fault diagnosis and fault-tolerant control domain. In this framework, possibly unified solutions and methods can be developed for general classes of systems. The book is composed of six parts. Besides Part I serving as a common basis for the subsequent studies, Parts II - VI are dedicated to five different thematic areas, including model-based fault diagnosis methods for linear time-varying systems, nonlinear systems and systems with model uncertainties, statistical and data-driven fault diagnosis methods, assessment of fault diagnosis systems, as well as fault-tolerant control with a strong focus on performance degradation monitoring and recovering. These parts are self-contained and so structured that they can also be used for self-study on the concerned topics.
