Gas pipelines are prone to faults due to aging, corrosion, and external factors. Undetected
faults can result in injuries, damage to properties, and environmental contamination. Several …

This monograph presents a variety of techniques that can be used for designing robust fault
diagnosis schemes for non-linear systems. The introductory part of the book is of a tutorial …

A novel model-based approach is proposed to detect leaks locations in a pipeline using only
sensors of flow and pressure at the ends of the duct. The approach assumes a simple …

In this chapter, a new technique is proposed in order to detect, locate, as well as
approximate the fluid leaks in a straight pipeline (without branching) by taking into …

A method for leaks location in a pipeline, using sensors only at the extremes of the line is
presented. The detection problem is solved, assuming a nonlinear fluid model of finite …

Some direct on-line observer-based approach for leak detection and isolation in pipelines is
here presented and tested in simulation. Given indeed a number of possible leaks to be …

This article presents a novel scheme for the detection and isolation of single leaks in a
pipeline with a branch junction by measuring only the flow rate and pressure at the ends of …

Currently numerous approaches with various applicability have been generated in order to
detect damage in pipe networks. Pipeline faults such as leaks and partial or complete …

Pipeline transportation of resources is considered a vital method due to low operational cost,
and simple design and implementation. However, the presence of leakages within pipeline …

Recently many techniques with different applicability have been developed for damage
detection in the pipeline. The pipeline system is designed as a distributed parameter system …
