Abstract:
To be able to do the correct action when a fault is detected, the fault isolation part must be precise and run in real time during operation of the process. In many cases can it be difficult to decide exactly where the fault is localized. In those cases, the isolation algorithm must rank the faults according to their probability to be the cause to the behavior. The masters thesis project aims at probabilistic methods and algorithms for fault isolation in embedded systems. Different kind of Bayesian Networks have been compared in this report and the comparison has been done on a literature defi

The aim of this thesis is to contribute to improved diagnosis of automotive vehicles. The work is driven by case studies, where problems and challenges are identified. To solve these problems, theoretically sound and general methods are developed. The methods are then applied to the real world systems. To fulfill performance requirements automotive vehicles are becoming increasingly complex products. This makes them more difficult to diagnose. At the same time, the requirements on the diagnosis itself are steadily increasing. Environmental legislation requires that smaller deviations from spec

The stress intensity factors and their first order derivatives are evaluated for mode-I and mixed-mode fracture problems.

Weight growth has been a significant factor in nearly every space and launch vehicle development program. In order to account for weight growth, program managers allocate a design margin.

In order to address this problem, a hybrid method of estimating margin is developed.

Probabilistic models and fuzzy set models describe different aspects of uncertainty. Probabilistic models primarily describe random variability in parameters. In engineering system safety, examples are variability in material properties, geometrical dimensions, or wind loads. In contrast, fuzzy set models of uncertainty primarily describe vagueness, such as vagueness in the definition of safety. When there is only limited information about variability, it is possible to use probabilistic models by making suitable assumptions on the statistics of the variability. However, it has been re

Abstract:
Probabilistic seismic assessment is of interest both in the design of new structures, and in the assessment of existing structures. An accurate prediction of the structural response distribution requires a large number of dynamic analyses, using a large number of ground motions. Such a task, however, requires substantial computational work, and, furthermore, is impeded by the scarcity of high intensity records. In this research a methodology is proposed for sampling optimized suites of ground motions, which methodology is comprised of a vector-valued intensity measure (IM), and a ground motion
