Backlash fault detection in mechatronic system

Abstract

In this paper, a fault detection and isolation model based method for backlash phenomenon is presented. The aim of this contribution is to be able to detect then distinguish the undesirable backlash from the useful one inside an electromechanical test bench. The dynamic model of the real system is derived, using the bond graph approach, motivated by the multi-energy domain of such mechatronic system. The innovation interest of the use of the bond graph tool, resides in the exploitation of one language representation for modelling and monitoring the system with presence of mechanical faults. Fault indicators are deduced from the analytical model and used to detect and isolate undesirable backlash fault, including the physical system. Simulation and experimental tests are done on electromechanical test bench which consists of a DC motor carrying a mechanical load, through a reducer part containing a backlash phenomenon.

Temperature dependent friction estimation: Application to lubricant health monitoring

“…Different methods were developed to detect the abnormal behavior of these systems, see for example the paper [23]. In function of the magnitude of the identified fault, the control system can be reconfigured [15] or total shutdown of the process may be necessary.…”

Design methodology for smart actuator services for machine tool and machining control and monitoring

“…The curves of the estimated parameters converge within 0.2 s. If the period without machining process is longer it could be used to compare the behavior of the drive with its estimated model. The discrepancy between the drive behavior and its model behavior can then be analyzed in order to detect backlashes [35]. The monitoring of the static converter associated to the DC motor is not implemented.…”

Hybrid fault diagnosis for telerobotics system

“…(9) shows that the residual of the transmission channel is sensitive to induced delay s SC k and the output faults f c ðkÞ.…”

“…To monitor the system defined by (10), a residual generator is synthesized. This latter is based on the parity space principal or more known as Analytical Redundancy Relations (ARR) [9]. This quantitative method allows to check the coherence between the mathematical relations of the controlled system and the measurements.…”
