Abstract

SummaryIn this article, the problem of intermittent fault (IF) detection is investigated for nonstationary processes in the multivariate statistics framework. By combining the moving window technique with maximum likelihood estimation (MLE), the moving window Wald‐based control chart is proposed to realize the detection of IFs in nonstationary processes. The computational efficiency and the convergence properties are discussed for the designed iterative algorithm of MLE. Then, necessary and sufficient conditions are presented to guarantee the detectability of IFs with the consideration of window lengths. Moreover, the alarm delays are analyzed for the appearance and disappearance of IFs. In virtue of the above analysis, the optimal window length is derived by minimizing the supremum of alarm delays. In order to estimate the time of IFs' appearance and disappearance, an algorithm is designed with the inspiration of simulated annealing strategy. Finally, a simulation on rotary steerable drilling tool system is provided to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.
