Abstract: Driving with faulty dampers can throw the car off balance sending it out of control. Common faults of Magneto Rheological (MR) dampers are loss of oil volume because oil leakage. A fault detection system for monitoring the damper condition is proposed. The proposal monitors the transmissibility of the semi-active suspension of a Quarter of Vehicle (QoV ) based on the frequency of the road. A frequency estimator for the road based on the deflection of the suspension is the key component of the fault detection system. In order to improve the efficiency of the detection system an observable domain switch was introduced. This switch identifies the most sensible transmissibility domain in order to improve the efficiency of the proposal. Intensive randomly generated tests with less than 36 % average in detection error using a semi-active MR damper validates the transmissibility as a good indicator of MR damper condition. Keywords: Fault detection, MR damper, Oil leakage, Shock absorber. 1. INTRODUCTION An early detection of abnormal events in automotive suspension systems can reduce damages in driving situations. In Venkatasubramanian et al. [2003], advanced Fault Detection and Isolation (FDI ) methods are classified into two major groups, those which do not assume any form of model information and those which use accurate dynamic process models. Basically, the FDI selection depends on the availability to get the right information through of a reliable model or process sensors. Faults in engineering processes belong to one of the following categories, Gertler [1998]: faults in sensor and actuator called soft faults or, process faults where some plant parameters change because of physical or mechanical problems. In Automotive Suspension Control Systems (ASCS ), the instrumentation is vulnerable to malfunctions. Shock absorbers could fail when it losses oil volume, generating a decrease in its damping factor. This loss is generated due to the damaged seals in the damper housing. The spring, in the suspension system, has little variations during vehicle life, Ferreira et al. [2009]. There are some research works in FDI systems for ASCS. In Kim and Lee [2011] a residual analysis based on parity equations is proposed for fault detection in vertical accelerometers of the sprung mass. In Wang and Song [2011], a FDI system based on a H∞ robust filter is proposed for sensor faults into a semi-active suspension system, the residuals are used to accommodate the malfunction by a fuzzy controller. Similarly, a FDI filter based on the Lin⋆ Thanks to CONACyT, Mexico for the support under the Postgraduate Cooperation Project 2007-2011.

ear Parameter-Varying framework is proposed in G´asp´ar et al. [2010]; sensor and actuator faults are diagnosed and accommodated in the controller to guarantee road holding and to keep the pitch and roll stability in a vehicle model. A methodology for controlling the damping ratio of semiactive dampers in a Quarter of Vehicle (QoV ) based on estimation of parameters is proposed in Fischer and Isermann [2004]; however, the computing time is prohibitive. In Vidal et al. [2010], a FDI system based on a referencemodel observer is proposed; stiffness and damping variations in a suspension are implemented as additive faults. A novel methodology that monitors the condition of the automotive dampers through a transmissibility function is introduced by Ferreira et al. [2009]. Even experiments validate results, more complex design for a MagnetoRheological (MR) damper is needed. An MR damper is a hydraulic device whose oil contains metallic micro size particles that change the rheological properties of the fluid when a magnetic field is applied; an electric current supplied through the damper coil is used to manipulate the magnetic field. The variation of the oil viscosity modifies the damping ratio. Thus, the damping coefficient not only depends on the excitation frequency, but it also depends on the electric current. This paper generalizes the work presented by Ferreira et al. [2009] by adding the electric current and the deflection velocity effects into the transmissibility function that detects malfunctions of the semi-active damper. The outline of this paper is as follows: in the next section, the model of a QoV model with an MR damper is described. Section 3 reviews the original method proposed

4. FAULT DETECTION SYSTEM The transmissibility can be monitored by online computing the damping ratio, ζ in the shock absorber and the excitation frequency, fr . The MR damper model and an estimation of the frequency, fˆdef through a deflection sensor, zdef are proposed for computing the transmissibility TR . A change in the semi-active and passive damping coefficients could represent a fault in the MR damper. The model relates the transmissibility TR with an electric current, I. A threshold for each electric current and frequency will support a fault detection system. 4.1 Heuristic frequency estimation

By assuming a harmonic motion of the damper piston, Worden and Tomlinson [2001], two variables of the suspension can be described by:

The signals z and z˙ are unknown and there is not possible to obtain a forecast. Using an index of the amplitude such as the Root Mean Square value in a moving window; or the infinite norm of the deflection and velocity of the piston in the last k samples, the envelopes of equations (6, 7) are: i

Based on QoV model, the transmissibility TR function given by output to input magnitude ratio between the sprung and the unsprung mass accelerations (¨ zs and z¨us ) is, Gillespie [1992]: √ z¨s 1 + (2ζ r)2 = TR = (3) z¨us (1 + r2 )2 + (2ζ r)2 This function depends on frequency, where the damping ratio ζ is: 1 CD ζ= √ (4) 2 ms ks and r is the ratio between the excitation frequency fr and the natural frequency fn of the system defined by fr with fn = r= fn

√ ks /ms 2

(5)

In conventional vehicle passive suspension systems, the spring constant ks has little variation during vehicle life. Vehicle mass ms changes with vehicle load, this effect is more pronounced in the rear axle, as the front axle load is mainly determined by the powertrain mass coefficient. The damper condition is related with the damping factor CD , so changes due to aging, wear or malfunction of the damper may be detectable by computing transmissibility function. The transmissibility is directly affected by the excitation frequency. A system that measures both, z¨s and z¨us accelerations and computes the transmissibility, TR , could monitor the damper condition, and detect faults.

4.2 Estimation of Transmissibility In a shock absorber the damping factor, CD , and the damping ratio, ζ, can be obtained as a function of the damping force and excitation velocity: Fdamping (11) z˙ Combining equations (2a, 4, 11) a formula for the MR damping ratio is: CD =

The MR damping ratio ζM R depends on the electric current I, and the piston velocity z˙def . Using the estimated frequency of excitation fˆr in eqn. (5), the formula for r is:

Following the recommendation of Boggs et al. [2006], a road sequence based in a bounce sine sweep pattern with decremental displacement amplitude according to the evaluated frequency was implemented for different electric current. Figure 4 summarizes these results for three electric current, and for several frequencies of the road sequences zr . The transmissibility TR at the natural frequency (i.e ∼ 2 Hz) exhibits the greatest values.

According to the standard ISO 8606:1995, the classified roads in types A to H corresponds to roads in good conditions (i. e. city runways). The road type A corresponds to the best pavement condition. A loss of 25 % of the oil MR damper volume in a vehicle running in a road type B was considered the fault to be detected. Figure 6 shows a histogram of the average time at different estimated frequency fˆdef when a vehicle runs in a type B road. This average was computed from 30 randomly generated simulations. Continuous line corresponds to a suspension with a MR damper free of fault (0 % lost oil volume) and dashed line is for a faulty MR damper (25 % lost oil volume). This frequency histogram confirms the application domain.

Estimated frequency from zr [Hz]

The frequency is estimated from the suspension deflection, zdef , because there is not a frequency road sensor. Figure 5 compares the real and the estimated frequencies of the road zr . The suspension is a nonlinear system that filters some frequencies; therefore, the estimated frequency of the road zr could exhibit errors or important differences. 20

Based on the bandwidth of the frequency given by Figure 6, a transmissibility TR plot for a suspension with a damper free of faults was computed. This function will be used for threshold definition. Several statistics were considered for each discrete interval (0.05 Hz ) of frequency. The evaluated thresholds were TRth = µ+σ, TRth = µ+2σ, TRth = µ + 3σ, TRth = Q3 , and TRth = Q4 . Figure 7 (continuous line) shows the selected threshold, TRth = Q3 . The transmissibility TR with faulty damper, a loss of 25 % of the oil volume, was computed with the same statistics, Figure 7 (dashed line). Based on these lines, if a suspension system has a transmissibility TR > TRth , it is almost sure that the MR damper is faulty.

Fig. 5. Road frequency fˆr (left) and estimated road frequency fˆdef (right). 4.3 Fault implementation and driving conditions The considered faulty condition is a loss of oil in the MR damper because an oil leakage. This damper condition is function of the damping factor CD and may be detected by monitoring the transmissibility TR . With less MR fluid, the transmissibility ratio changes (increase), Ferreira et al. [2009].

Analyzing Figure 7, the maximum transmissibility occurs in the resonance frequency of the sprung mass (∼ 2 Hz). In the frequency interval fr = (1.8, 2.2) Hz, the suspension has higher sensibility. Around this frequency the detection system will be working better. If the frequency is higher or lower, the probability of right detection decreases because the transmissibility functions are closer. Figure 7 corresponds to a constant 1.25 A for electric current; however, Figure 4 indicates how electric current affects the transmissibility. An observable domain switch (shade area) in Figure 7 is proposed to improve the efficiency of the detection system.

It is very important the definition of the central, fµ , and span values, fϕ for this switch. This defines if the detection system is active or not; these are key tuning parameters of the fault detection system. Observable domain

Considering the detection error as the time steps having wrongly detected damper condition between the total number of time steps (in percentage), the example in Figure 9 has 12% in error detection during 20 s. If the detection error considers only the time where the detection system was active, the global detection error was 27%, Figure 11 (top plot). If a diagnosis about the volume of the lost oil is needed, more thresholds can be integrated for the isolation capability.

Based on reading the electric current I, measuring the deflection of the suspension zdef , and computing the velocity of the suspension deflection z˙def , the frequency of the road zˆr is estimated: fˆdef . Then the transmissibility TˆR is computed. If the estimated frequency fˆdef is into the observable domain (fµ − fϕ , fµ + fϕ ), the detection system is switched on and a comparison TˆR > TRth is done for fault detection; otherwise, the detection system is switched off.

A False Negative (FN ) is when there is a fault, but it is not detected; while a False Positive (FP ) is when there is no fault, but one is detected. True Positive (TP ) is when there is a fault, and it is detected; while, True Negative (TN) is when there is no fault and no fault is detected. The sum of TP and FN are the total faulty cases (TFC ) and the sum of TN and FP are total healthy cases (THC ). The probability of detection Pd = TTFPC P . Receiver while the probability of false alarms Pf a = TFHC Operating Characteristic (ROC ) curves show a relation between opportune detection probability Pd versus false alarms probability Pf a . ROC curves identify when the statistical threshold captures the normal operating conditions, Woods and Bowyer [1997]. The detection probability considers only the detection system property of indicating an abnormal event without considering the fault isolation.

By considering only the time when the fault detection system is activated, the best performance is obtained when the third quartile (Q3 ) is used as threshold, because the probability of detection, Pd is the highest, 71%; however, the false alarm rate is 21%. On the other hand, the threshold of 1σ has a low probability of false alarms, 15%, with acceptable Pd of 65%. By using the thresholds of the fourth quartile and 3σ, the fault detection performance is very poor and close to the detection limit as Figure 10 shows. 1

Loss of MR oil fluid volume because an oil leakage is a common fault in this type of dampers. An improved version for monitoring a MR damper condition was proposed. The proposal monitors the transmissibility (magnitude ratio between the sprung and unsprung mass accelerations) of the semi-active suspension in a QoV model. Intensive random tests shown less than 36 % (average) in detection error. A frequency estimator for the road based on the deflection of the suspension is the crucial component of the proposal. An observable domain switch that actives (or does not active) the detection system, and the frequency of the road estimation are the key modules in the overall performance of algorithm. Even these modules can be improved, early results validates that transmissibility is a good indicator of faulty MR dampers.

Average percentage Detection error [%] of outcomes for the binary detection [%]

In order to analyze statistically the performance of the fault detection system, 30 random simulations of the vehicle running in a road profile type B were implemented, all of them include the MR damper under normal and faulty operating conditions. Figure 11 (top boxplot) shows the average detection error when the fault detection system is activated, by using the Q3 threshold. Under normal and faulty conditions, the error has similar standard deviation; however, when the MR damper is free of faults, the detection error is lower (∼ 17%). The detection error obtained in the ROC curve (100 - Pd =29%) is bounded by the global error box. Figure 11 (bottom boxplot) shows the average parameters of the ROC curve. In general, the performance is similar in rigth detections (TP and TN ); while, the major opportunity in the proposed detection algorithm is minimization of the FN values through increasing the sensitivity of the fault detection algorithm when the MR damper is faulty. 55 45 35 25 15 5 50
