Detection and identification of loss of efficiency faults of flight actuators

Daniel Ossmann, Andreas Varga (2015)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

We propose linear parameter-varying (LPV) model-based approaches to the synthesis of robust fault detection and diagnosis (FDD) systems for loss of efficiency (LOE) faults of flight actuators. The proposed methods are applicable to several types of parametric (or multiplicative) LOE faults such as actuator disconnection, surface damage, actuator power loss or stall loads. For the detection of these parametric faults, advanced LPV-model detection techniques are proposed, which implicitly...

SMAC-FDI: A single model active fault detection and isolation system for unmanned aircraft

Guillaume J.J. Ducard (2015)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

This article presents a single model active fault detection and isolation system (SMAC-FDI) which is designed to efficiently detect and isolate a faulty actuator in a system, such as a small (unmanned) aircraft. This FDI system is based on a single and simple aerodynamic model of an aircraft in order to generate some residuals, as soon as an actuator fault occurs. These residuals are used to trigger an active strategy based on artificial exciting signals that searches within the residuals...

A Model-Based Fault Detection and Diagnosis Scheme for Distributed Parameter Systems: A Learning Systems Approach

Michael A. Demetriou (2010)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

In this note, fault detection techniques based on finite dimensional results are extended and applied to a class of infinite dimensional dynamical systems. This special class of systems assumes linear plant dynamics having an abrupt additive perturbation as the fault. This fault is assumed to be linear in the (unknown) constant (and possibly functional) parameters. An observer-based model estimate is proposed which serves to monitor the system's dynamics for unanticipated failures, and...

Double fault distinguishability in linear systems

Jan Maciej Kościelny, Zofia M. Łabęda-Grudziak (2013)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

This paper develops a new approach to double fault isolation in linear systems with the aid of directional residuals. The method of residual generation for computational as well as internal forms is applied. Isolation of double faults is based on the investigation of the coplanarity of the residual vector with the planes defined by the individual pairs of directional fault vectors. Additionally, the method of designing secondary residuals, which are structured and directional, is proposed....

Switching time estimation and active mode recognition using a data projection method

Assia Hakem, Vincent Cocquempot, Komi Midzodzi Pekpe (2016)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

This paper proposes a data projection method (DPM) to detect a mode switching and recognize the current mode in a switching system. The main feature of this method is that the precise knowledge of the system model, i.e., the parameter values, is not needed. One direct application of this technique is fault detection and identification (FDI) when a fault produces a change in the system dynamics. Mode detection and recognition correspond to fault detection and identification, and switching...

Actuator fault diagnosis for flat systems: A constraint satisfaction approach

Ramatou Seydou, Tarek Raissi, Ali Zolghadri, Denis Efimov (2013)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

This paper describes a robust set-membership-based Fault Detection and Isolation (FDI) technique for a particular class of nonlinear systems, the so-called flat systems. The proposed strategy consists in checking if the expected input value belongs to an estimated feasible set computed using the system model and the derivatives of the measured output vector. The output derivatives are computed using a numerical differentiator. The set-membership estimator design for the input vector...

Supervisory fault tolerant control of the GTM UAV using LPV methods

Tamás Péni, Báltin Vanek, Zoltán Szabó, József Bakor (2015)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

A multi-level reconfiguration framework is proposed for fault tolerant control of over-actuated aerial vehicles, where the levels indicate how much authority is given to the reconfiguration task. On the lowest, first level the fault is accommodated by modifying only the actuator/sensor configuration, so the fault remains hidden from the baseline controller. A dynamic reallocation scheme is applied on this level. The allocation mechanism exploits the actuator/sensor redundancy available...

Systematic fault tolerant control based on adaptive Thau observer estimation for quadrotor UAVs

Zhaohui Cen, Hassan Noura, Younes Al Younes (2015)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

A systematic fault tolerant control (FTC) scheme based on fault estimation for a quadrotor actuator, which integrates normal control, active and passive FTC and fault parking is proposed in this paper. Firstly, an adaptive Thau observer (ATO) is presented to estimate the quadrotor rotor fault magnitudes, and then faults with different magnitudes and time-varying natures are rated into corresponding fault severity levels based on the pre-defined fault-tolerant boundaries. Secondly, a...
