A novel scheme for the fault detection and condition monitoring of vehicle suspensions is presented in this study. The new technique exploits the dynamic interactions between different vehicle modes caused by component failures in the system, leading to a simple but effective solution. Compared with many model-based fault detection techniques, the proposed technique does not require complex mathematical models of the system and it overcomes potential difficulties associated with nonlinearities and parameter variations in the system. The use of inexpensive inertial sensors and ease of tuning make the practical implementation of the proposed scheme straightforward. A conventional railway vehicle is used in the study to illustrate the basic ideas as well as the effectiveness of the novel fault detection method, although the general principle is applicable to other systems.
