Fault Diagnosis using Rough Sets Theory • Diagnosis of a valve fault for a multi-cylinder diesel engine • Rough Sets Theory is used to analyze the decision table composed of attributes extracted from the vibration signals
Fault Diagnosis using Rough Sets Theory • 4 states are studied among the signal characteristics • Normal state • Intake valve clearance is too small • Intake valve clearance is too large • Exhaust valve clearance is too large
Fault Diagnosis using Rough Sets Theory • 3 sampling points selected to collect vibration signals • 1st cylinder head • 2nd cylinder head • centre of the piston stroke on the surface of the cylinder block
Fault Diagnosis using Rough Sets Theory • 6 attributes • Frequency domain attributes: IF, CG • Time domain attributes: IT, σ, Dx, α4 • 18 attributes for decision table • 1 decision attribute with 4 possible values based on states
Software Safety Analysis using Rough Sets • Investigates the safety aspects of computer software in safety-critical applications • Assessment of software safety using qualitative evaluations
Software Safety Analysis using Rough Sets • Use of checklists to collect data on software quality • Waterfall model • Project Planning • Specification of requirements • Design • Implementation and integration • Verification and validation • Operation and maintenance
