Application of Pattern Recognition to Failure Analysis and Diagnosis

  • Chapter
Human Detection and Diagnosis of System Failures

Part of the book series: NATO Conference Series ((HF,volume 15))

  • 274 Accesses

Abstract

In this chapter, we will be dealing with systems, all initially at the same design, manufacturing, quality control and operating standards. For each set of operating conditions, technical specifications describe the expected performance and characteristics of these systems, all of which cannot, in general, be quantified. After having introduced a number of basic concepts in failure analysis and diagnosis, the relation to pattern recognition will be explained.
