Introduction.- Failure pattern and corresponding mechanism analysis of liquid Rocket engines (LRE).- Analysis method of failure model for LRE.- Failure characteristics analysis of LRE.- Fault diagnosis of LRE based on artificial neural net.- Fault diagnosis method based on Wavelet transform.- Fault diagnosis method based on artificial immune system.- Fault diagnosis method based on fuzzy theory.- Fault analysis and diagnosis method based on statistical learning theory.- Fault diagnosis method based on hide Markov model.- Fault prediction method of LRE.

"This book is best classified as an exercise in applied mathematics; it presents various mathematical methods that can be applied to the problem of fault diagnostics in liquid-fueled rocket engines. The techniques include those based on neural networks, wavelet transforms, fuzzy sets, statistical learning theory, hidden Markov models, and time series analysis. ... Summing Up: Recommended. Professionals and practitioners only." (A. M. Strauss, Choice, Vol. 54 (4), December, 2016)
