  2. Fault detection and isolation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fault_detection_and_isolation

    Fault detection, isolation, and recovery (FDIR) is a subfield of control engineering which concerns itself with monitoring a system, identifying when a fault has occurred, and pinpointing the type of fault and its location. Two approaches can be distinguished: A direct pattern recognition of sensor readings that indicate a fault and an analysis ...

  3. Fault tolerance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fault_tolerance

    This is usually handled with a separate "automated fault-detection system". In the case of the tire, an air pressure monitor detects the loss of pressure and notifies the driver. The alternative is a "manual fault-detection system", such as manually inspecting all tires at each stop. Interference with fault detection in another component.

  4. Stacking fault - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stacking_fault

    In crystallography, a stacking fault is a planar defect that can occur in crystalline materials. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Crystalline materials form repeating patterns of layers of atoms. Errors can occur in the sequence of these layers and are known as stacking faults.

  5. Safety engineering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safety_engineering

    A fault tree diagram. Fault trees are a logical inverse of success trees, and may be obtained by applying de Morgan's theorem to success trees (which are directly related to reliability block diagrams). FTA may be qualitative or quantitative. When failure and event probabilities are unknown, qualitative fault trees may be analyzed for minimal ...

  6. Fault tree analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fault_tree_analysis

    A fault tree diagram. Fault tree analysis (FTA) is a type of failure analysis in which an undesired state of a system is examined. This analysis method is mainly used in safety engineering and reliability engineering to understand how systems can fail, to identify the best ways to reduce risk and to determine (or get a feeling for) event rates of a safety accident or a particular system level ...

  7. Fault reporting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fault_reporting

    Fault reporting is a maintenance concept that increases operational availability and that reduces operating cost by three mechanisms: Reduce labor-intensive diagnostic evaluation; Eliminate diagnostic testing down-time; Provide notification to management for degraded operation; That is a prerequisite for condition-based maintenance. [1]

  8. Fault management - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fault_management

    Ideally, a fault management system should be able to correctly identify events and automatically take action, either launching a program or script to take corrective action, or activating notification software that allows a human to take proper intervention (i.e. send e-mail or SMS text to a mobile phone). Some notification systems also have ...

  9. Fault zone hydrogeology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fault_zone_hydrogeology

    A fault zone that displaces sealing units and reservoir rocks can act as a conduit for hydrocarbon migration. [6] The fault zone itself has higher storage capacity (specific capacity) than that of the reservoir rocks, therefore, before the migration to other units, the fault zone has to be fully filled [6] (Gif 3). This can slower and ...
