A neural network approach for identification and fault diagnosis on dynamic systems

The possibilities offered by neural networks for system identification and fault diagnosis problems in dynamic systems are investigated. In particular, an original "neural" procedure is illustrated: its sensitivity and response time enable it to be used in on-line fault diagnosis applications. Some examples are also reported. Even though they pertain to a simple linear dynamic system, these examples highlight the general applicability and advantages of a neural approach.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
