The problem of robust model-based diagnosis of process faults is addressed in the framework of pattern recognition. Evolutionary algorithms of genetic type are used to solve both problems of feature selection and classifier design by means of multiobjective optimization. process coefficients are directly identified by an on-line procedure. Symptoms are then evaluated by a non-parametric classifier. Application to a laboratory process is included. A diagnosis subsystem is designed and implemented in real-time to detect incipient faults in the components of a three-tank system.

The development of a process planning aid for laser drilling operations is here presented. The system is made of two parts: first, an analytical model determines the shape of the material removing zone. Then, the distribution in time of the cavity geometrical extent, which corresponds to the melting isothermal, is used as an input in a finite element analysis, allowing a simplified solution for bulk material properties prediction. This hybrid approach, avoiding time-consuming full-FEM analyses, allows both to evaluate the heat affected zone extent and to predict the residual stress field at the end of the process. The proposed model has been experimentally veryfied by means of laser drilling experiences on low-carbon ASTM A366 steel and polimetil-metacrilate PMMA, evaluating the shape of the performed holes.

The paper concerns the problem of parameterestimation in web manufacturing processes such as paper making, plastics extrusion and sheet coating processes. The key feature of such processes is that the manufactured web has width and length. In order to control or monitor the process, it is necessary to be able to identify the behaviour of the web width (cross-direction, in short CD) as well as the web length (machine-direction, in short MD). The aim of the paper is: (1) to review the identification techniques, (2) present a new method based upon basis function sets, (3) to illustrate typical results using industrial data.

System identification methods are now incorporated into several commercially available products, including two MATLAB Toolboxes and a number of frequency response analyzers. This paper reports on the accuracy obtained with the two MATLAB Toolboxes, when used with idealized noisy data, and also on their performance when used with real measurement data The performance of the curve-fitting algorithms on two commercial FFT analyzers is also compared using two applications for illustration. It is found that while the MATLAB Toolboxes perform almost equally well when used in the applications examined, the hardware analyzers are less comparable. One of the analyzers gives reliable results, but results from the other can prove quite difficult to interpret in the noise-free case, and can be erroneous when a comparatively small amount of noise is present on the measured output signal.

A method for monitoring and predicting fouling of heat exchangers by means of long-term wear models is described. To monitor progressive fouling, the dependencies between the poles of a second-order transfer-function, the fouling and the operation point are examined. The estimation of the poles, together with a wear model, allows the long-term wear monitoring and the prediction of the remaining life-span. Poles are estimated with a generalised Fourier-series, from data calculated by numerical simulation and taking nonlinear behaviour into account. The device properties are taken from an exhaust gas to water heat exchanger.

This paper considers ellipsoidal parameter bounding for self-tuning robust control of a sampled process using a controller which is performance robust with respect to this feasible processparameter set. This parameter set is obtained by an ellipsoidal parameter bounding method using unknown but bounded disturbance with known bounds. The ellipsoidal method used is based on a criterion specifically chosen for suboptimal robust control. A comparison with the minimum volume method demonstrates the advantage of this approach.

A dynamic heat balance model which can be generically applicable to various industrial batch reactors has been proposed. The proposed model is composed by considering the detailed heat balance around the cooling jacket, which has been overlooked in the existing modeling approaches, as well as the heat balance for the reactor contents. In the proposed model, the local heat transfer coefficient in the reactor side is selected as a tuning parameter. The proposed model has been utilized to investigate reactor behaviors as well as to improve control methods for PBL and EPS polymerization reactors.

Experiment data from a strip steel rinsing process are used as a test case of Grey Box identification, i.e. of designing a nonlinear stochastic dynamic model for the process, when some but not all of the physical phenomena behind its behavior are known, a priori knowledge is uncertain, and the process is subject to unknown disturbances. The purpose of the study is twofold: (1) To find a working procedure for carrying out interactive system identification, in particular using the Grey Box identification tool named IdKit. The procedure comprises a sequence of hypothesis testings and parameter fittings, and involves the designer intimately in the interactive 'loop' to contribute 'engineering sense'. (2) To illuminate the choice between internal-noise, external-noise, or no-noise (deterministic) structures, in particular whether the result may be worth the effort of using optimal state-variable filtering.
