We present a fault detection method called the gray-box. The term “gray-box” refers to the approach wherein a deterministic model of system, i.e., “white box,” is used to filter the data and generate a residual, while a stochastic model, i.e., “black-box” is used to describe the residual. The residual is described by a three-tier stochastic model. An auto-regressive process, and a time-delay feed-forward neural network describe the linear and nonlinear components of the residual, respectively. The last component, the noise, is characterized by its moments. Faults are detected by monitoring the parameters of the auto-regressive model, the weights of the neural network, and the moments of noise. This method is demonstrated on a simulated system of a gas turbine with time delay feedback actuator.

Fault detection in robotic manipulators is necessary for their monitoring and represents an effective support to use them as independent systems. This present study investigates an enhanced method for representation of the faultless system behavior in a robot manipulator based on a multi-layer perceptron (MLP) neural network learning model which produces the same behavior as the real dynamic manipulator. The study was based on generation of residue by contrasting the actual output of the manipulator with those of the neural network; Then, a time delay control (TDC) is applied to compensate the fault, in which a typical sliding mode command is used to delete the time delay estimate produced by the belated signal in order to obtain strong performances. The results of the simulations performed on a model of the SCARA arm manipulator, showed a good trajectory tracking and fast convergence speed in the presence of faults on the sensors. In addition, the command is completely model independent, for both TDC and MLP neural network, which represents a major advantage of the proposed command.

Increasing expectations of industrial system reliability require development of more effective and robust fault diagnosis methods. The paper presents a framework for quality improvement on the neural model applied for fault detection purposes. In particular, the proposed approach starts with an adaptation of the modified quasi-outer-bounding algorithm towards non-linear neural network models. Subsequently, its convergence is proven using quadratic boundedness paradigm. The obtained algorithm is then equipped with the sequential D-optimum experimental design mechanism allowing gradual reduction of the neural model uncertainty. Finally, an emerging robust fault detection framework on the basis of the neural network uncertainty description as the adaptive thresholds is proposed.

Neural networks—both natural and artificial, are characterized by two kinds of dynamics. The first one is concerned with what we would call “learning dynamics”. The second one is the intrinsic dynamics of the neural network viewed as a dynamical system after the weights have been established via learning. The chapter deals with the second kind of dynamics. More precisely, since the emergent computational capabilities of a recurrent neural network can be achieved provided it has suitable dynamical properties when viewed as a system with several equilibria, the chapter deals with those qualitative properties connected to the achievement of such dynamical properties as global asymptotics and gradient-like behavior. In the case of the neural networks with delays, these aspects are reformulated in accordance with the state of the art of the theory of time delay dynamical systems.

This paper presents the application of Artificial Neural Networks to predict the malfunction probability of the human-machine-environment system, in order to provide some guidance to designers of manufacturing processes. Artificial Neural Networks excel in gathering difficult non-linear relationships between the inputs and outputs of a system. We used, in this work, a feed forward neural network in order to predict the malfunction probability. The neural network is simulated with Matlab. The design experiment presented in this paper was realized at University of Pitesti, at the Faculty of Mechanics and Technology, Technology and Management Department.

Estimation and compensation for hull deformation is an indispensable step for the ship to establish a unified space attitude. The existing hull deformation measurement methods are dependent on the pre-established deformation model, and an inaccurate deformation model will reduce the deformation estimation accuracy. To solve this problem, a hull deformation estimation method without deformation model is proposed in this article, which utilizes the neural network to fit the hull deformation. To train the neural network online, connection weights of the neural network are regarded as system state variables which can be estimated by the Unscented Kalman Filter. Simultaneously, considering the time delay problem of inertial data, a time delay compensation method based on the quaternion attitude matrix is proposed. The simulation results show that the proposed method can obtain high estimation accuracy without any deformation model even when the inertial data are asynchronous.

This paper presents a method for estimation of road profile for automotive research applications with more accuracy and higher speed. Dynamic response of a car equipped with position and velocity sensors and driving on a sample road is used as basic data. A feed-forward neural network, trained with outputs from a car model in ADAMS, is used as the car inverse model. The neural network is capable of estimating the road roughness from the car response during test drives. The ADAMS model is corrected and validated using a series of dynamic experiments on the car, performed on a hydro-pulse test rig. The only problem in this approach, like other identification and optimization methods, is the large volume of generated data in time domain, acquired from car response during road test. This problem is solved using wavelet methods to code the acquired data. Unlike all frequency methods that eliminate a large portion of the data details during processing, the wavelet coding method restores most of the details, while the volume of the stored data is kept to a minimum. The results show that this method can estimate the road profile accurately and with great savings in processing time and effort.

This paper presents a new approach method for online rotor and stator resistance estimation of induction motors using artificial neural networks for the sensorless drive. In this method, the rotor resistance is estimated by a feed-forward neural network with the learning rate as a function. The stator resistance is also estimated using the two-layered neural network with learning rate as a function. The speed of the induction motor is also estimated by the neural network. Therefore, the accurate estimation of the rotor and stator resistance improved the quality of the sensorless induction motor drive. The results of simulation and experiment show that the estimated speed tracks the real speed of the induction motor; simultaneously, the error between the estimated rotor and stator resistance using neural network and the normal rotor and stator resistance is very small.

The intelligent control experimentation system of cap-shape bending has been established, the validity of which has been tested for four kinds of materials. The result of the tests proves the feasibility of the blueprint of the intelligent control system.

Diabetes has always been a silent killer and the number of people suffering from it has increased tremendously in the last few decades. More often than not, people continue with their normal lifestyle, unaware that their health is at severe risk and with each passing day diabetes goes undetected.
