  ABSTRACT: In this paper, we design a fault diagnosis scheme for a class of variable coefficient wave equation (an overhead crane system), which is composed of an observer and its output error is treated as residual signal. When the system is in a healthy state, the output residual signal decays exponentially. Due to the existence of external disturbance, the residual is not zero in the state without fault. Therefore, we further design a reasonable threshold which is based on the upper bound of the residual dynamics and external disturbance to reduce the influence of external disturbance and determine whether the system fault occurs. The convergence properties of partial differential equation (PDE) observer and residual signal are analyzed by Lyapunov stability theory. Finally, the effectiveness of this fault diagnosis is illustrated by simulation and we can judge whether this overhead crane system fails by this fault diagnosis scheme.
