Abstract
Fault detection filters are a special class of observers that can generate directional residuals for the purpose of fault isolation. This paper proposes a new approach to design robust (in the disturbance de-coupling sense) fault detection filters which ensure that the residual vector, generated by this filter, has both robust and directional properties. This is done by combining the unknown input observer and fault detection filter principles. The paper proposes a new full-order unknown input observer, and gives necessary and sufficient conditions for its existence. After the disturbance de-coupling conditions are satisfied, the remaining design freedom can be used to make the residual have the directional property, based on the fault detection filter principle. A nonlinear jet engine system is used to illustrate the robust fault isolation approach presented. It is shown that linearization errors can be approximately treated as unknown disturbances and be de-coupled in the design of a robust fault detect...

Non-Uniform Stability, Detectability, and, Sliding Mode Observer Design for Time Varying Systems with Unknown Inputs

TL;DR: In this article, the stability and robustness properties of a recently proposed observer algorithm for linear time varying systems are discussed, where the observer is based on the approximation and subsequent modification of the non-negative Lyapunov exponents which yields a (non-uniform) exponentially stable error system.

Output estimator based fault detection for a class of nonlinear systems with unknown inputs

TL;DR: A novel fault detection strategy using output estimator design is proposed which neither has the relative degree restriction, nor requires the system under consideration to be detectable, which is tested on a single-link flexible robot manipulator model thorough computer simulations.

Paper: A survey of design methods for failure detection in dynamic systems

TL;DR: This paper surveys a number of methods for the detection of abrupt changes in stochastic dynamical systems, focusing on the class of linear systems, but the basic concepts carry over to other classes of systems.

A survey of design methods for failure detection in dynamic systems

TL;DR: 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.
