Sun, Hao (author), Wang, Haiqing (author), Yang, M. (author), Reniers, G.L.L.M.E. (author)To maintain continuous production, chemical plant operators may ignore faults or handle faults online rather than shutting down process systems. However, interaction and interdependence links between components in a digitalized process system are substantial. Thus, faults will be propagated to downstream nodes, potentially leading to risk...journal article 2024

Ramesh, Nirupama Sai (author)Model-based fault diagnosis methodologies rely on an accurate mathematical representation of a system's dynamics to effectively detect and localize faults. However, creating such models can be challenging, particularly for complex systems operating under diverse conditions. Furthermore, faults affecting the system can also modify its dynamics....master thesis 2023

Lohar, Nivedita (author)In 2022, there were over 26 million electric automobiles on the road, a 60% increase with regard to 2021 and more than 5 times the stock in 2018. As automobiles become more electric and systems get increasingly complex, the safety requirements get more stringent. In 2011, the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) established...master thesis 2023

Köylü, T.C. (author)Machine learning has gained a lot of recognition recently and is now being used in many important applications. However, this recognition was limited in the hardware security area. Especially, very few approaches depend on this powerful tool to detect attacks during operation. This thesis reduces this gap in the field of fault injection attack...doctoral thesis 2023

Dong, J. (author)Advancements in technology and societal demands have led to increasing complexity, size, and automation in modern industrial systems. This trend makes these systems more safety-critical, as the occurrence of faults in system components or subsystems may cause the entire system to fail, resulting in significant economic losses and casualties....doctoral thesis 2023

Janakiraman, Sathya (author)Having a reliable flight envelope is of paramount importance for safe flight operations. Parameters that determine the safe flight envelope are airspeed , angle of attack, angle of sideslip, Euler angle and load factor. These parameters need to be fault redundant, In order to address this challenge, an unscented Kalman estimation routine is...master thesis 2023

Spijkerman, Danny (author)Due to the increased share of (offshore) wind turbines, more stringent power requirements have been established. Importantly, the low-voltage ride-through requirement states that a wind turbine must remain connected to the electrical grid after a short intermittent grid fault. In the industry and academia many solutions have been proposed, but...master thesis 2023

Larocque, Frédéric (author)Pitot tube-free airspeed estimation methods exist for fixed-wing and multirotor configurations, but lack direct applicability to hybrid unmanned air vehicles due to their wide flight envelope and changing dynamics during transition. This work proposes a novel synthetic air data system for the Variable Skew Quad Plane (VSQP) hybrid vehicle to...master thesis 2023

Petrov, Martin (author)Consensus algorithms, as well as distributed systems in general, are vulnerable to concurrency bugs due to non-determinism. Such bugs are hard to detect since it is necessary to test using a lot of different scenarios and even then, there is no guarantee to find one. <br/><br/>Controlled concurrency testing is a proposed solution to that problem...bachelor thesis 2023
