TLDR
A number of methods for detecting abrupt changes (such as failures) in stochastic dynamical systems are surveyed in this paper, where tradeoffs in complexity versus performance are discussed, ranging from the design of specific failure-sensitive filters, to the use of statistical tests on filter innovations, and the development of jump process formulations.
Abstract
A number of methods for detecting abrupt changes (such as failures) in stochastic dynamical systems are surveyed. The class of linear systems is concentrated on but the basic concepts, if not the detailed analyses, carry over to other classes of systems. The methods surveyed range from the design of specific failure-sensitive filters, to the use of statistical tests on filter innovations, to the development of jump process formulations. Tradeoffs in complexity versus performance are discussed.

Implementations of a four-level mechanical architecture for fault-tolerant robots

TL;DR: A fault tolerant mechanical architecture with four levels devised and implemented in concert with NASA, the guiding principle of this architecture is that functional redundancies actively increase the performance of the system.

Backward SPRT Failure Detection System for Detection of Innovation Variance Change

TL;DR: This work proposed a backward SPRT failure detection system that uses the LLR evaluated in reverse from the current observation to hte past ones to detect degradation characterized by the increase of innovation variance.

Detection of abrupt change and applications in sensor decalibration monitoring.

TL;DR: The proposed fault detection algorithm is applied to a pilot scale process for evaluation of its performance and is coupled with other estimation algorithms such as the input independent Kalman filter to derive a robust sensor decalibration monitoring algorithm.

Parameter estimation in analytical models of automotive vehicles and fault diagnosis

TL;DR: In this paper, a "global" model based method for fault detection and physical diagnostics via parameter identification in dynamical ground vehicle problems is described. But this method is only applied to specific absorbers and to the dynamical behaviour of lateral motion comprising roll-yaw front, rear and center of mass skid dynamics, and all the physical parameters involved and to be estimated have then a physical significance.

Pattern analysis in real time with smart power sensor

TL;DR: In this article, a fault pattern analysis methodology overcomes certain disadvantages of the standard failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA) approach, which does not account for the contribution of unobserved failure to a degradation trajectory, and test results showed critical distinction in pattern analysis and test data acquired from a real-time IEEE 1451-enabled smart power sensor testbed, and monitored via a testbed with appropriate instrumentation.
