A new methodology for the design of filters that permits failure detection and isolation of dynamic systems is presented. Assuming that the normal and the faulty behavior of a process can be modeled by two linear systems subject to inequality bounded perturbations, a method for the on-line implementation of a test signal, guaranteeing failure detection, is proposed. To improve the fault detectability of the dynamic process, appropriate test signals are injected into the system. All the computations...
The paper presents a new approach to the generation of test signals used in service diagnosis. The tests make it possible to isolate faults, which are isolable only if the system is brought into specific operating points. The basis for the test signal selection is a structure graph that represents the couplings among the external and internal signals of the system and the fault signals. Graph-theoretic methods are used to identify edges that disappear under certain operating conditions and prevent...
The purpose of this paper is to derive constructive necessary and sufficient conditions for the problem of disturbance decoupling with algebraic output feedback. Necessary and sufficient conditions have also been derived for the same problem with internal stability. The same conditions have also been expressed by the use of invariant zeros. The main tool used is the dual- lattice structures introduced by Basile and Marro [R4].
This paper presents a survey on the recent contributions to linear time- invariant delay-differential systems in the behavioral approach. In this survey both systems with commensurate and with noncommensurate delays will be considered. The emphasis lies on the investigation of the relationship between various systems descriptions. While this can be understood in a completely algebraic setting for systems with commensurate delays, this is not the case for systems with noncommensurate delays. In the...
We study the anti-disturbance problem of a 1-d wave equation with boundary control matched disturbance. In earlier literature, the authors always designed the controller such as the sliding mode control and the active disturbance rejection control to stabilize the system. However, most of the corresponding closed-loop systems are boundedly stable. In this paper we show that the linear feedback control also has a property of anti-disturbance, even if the disturbance includes some information of the...
A dynamic system with structural damping described by partial differential equations is investigated. The system is first converted to an abstract evolution equation in an appropriate Hilbert space, and the spectral and semigroup properties of the system operator are discussed. Finally, the well-posedness and the asymptotical stability of the system are obtained by means of a semigroup of linear operators.
We discuss the null boundary controllability of a linear thermo-elastic plate. The method employs a smoothing property of the system of PDEs which allows the boundary controls to be calculated directly by solving two Cauchy problems.
This paper deals with the problem of time-varying differential systems when unmodeled dynamics is present. The questions related to when unmodeled dynamics (in fact when parametrical and order errors) does not affect for problems like controllability and related ones with respect to the foreseen results for a correct modelling are investigated for a wide class of typical situations. The presented results seem to be of interest in Physics when modelling uncertainties are present. Only the linear...
