“…Consequently, the research on the fault diagnosis (FD) problem has been gaining momentum and considerable effort has been devoted to the detection of occurrence of faults, the identification of the position of faults as well as the determination of the amplitude of faults. So far, the FD problem has been extensively studied in many practical systems including induction motors [1], robotic systems [2], wind turbines [3], power systems [4], planetary gearboxes [5], three‐phase inverters [6], flight control systems [7, 8] and so forth. Among existing FD approaches, model‐based FD methods have been widely adopted and a great number of results have been available in the literature on model‐based FD issues, see, e.g.…”
