Fault diagnosis in a networked control system under communication constraints: a quadrotor application

Karim Chabir, Mohamed Amine Sid, Dominique Sauter (2014)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

This paper considers the problem of attitude sensor fault diagnosis in a quadrotor helicopter. The proposed approach is composed of two stages. The first one is the modelling of the system attitude dynamics taking into account the induced communication constraints. Then a robust fault detection and evaluation scheme is proposed using a post-filter designed under a particular design objective. This approach is compared with previous results based on the standard Kalman filter and gives better results...

Fault diagnosis of a water for injection system using enhanced structural isolation

Morten Laursen, Mogens Blanke, Dilek Düştegör (2008)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

A water for injection system supplies chilled sterile water as a solvent for pharmaceutical products. There are ultimate requirements for the quality of the sterile water, and the consequence of a fault in temperature or in flow control within the process may cause a loss of one or more batches of the production. Early diagnosis of faults is hence of considerable interest for this process. This study investigates the properties of multiple matchings with respect to isolability, and it suggests to...

Fault monitoring and fault recovery control for position-moored vessels

Shaoji Fang, Mogens Blanke (2011)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

This paper addresses fault-tolerant control for position mooring of a shuttle or floating production storage and offloading vessels. A complete framework for fault diagnosis is presented. A loss of a sub-sea mooring line buoyancy element and line breakage are given particular attention, since such failures might cause high-risk abortion of an oil-loading operation. With significant drift forces from waves, non-Gaussian elements dominate forces and the residuals designed for fault diagnosis. Hypothesis...

Fault tolerant control using Gaussian processes and model predictive control

Xiaoke Yang, Jan M. Maciejowski (2015)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Essential ingredients for fault-tolerant control are the ability to represent system behaviour following the occurrence of a fault, and the ability to exploit this representation for deciding control actions. Gaussian processes seem to be very promising candidates for the first of these, and model predictive control has a proven capability for the second. We therefore propose to use the two together to obtain fault-tolerant control functionality. Our proposal is illustrated by several reasonably...

Fault-tolerant pitch-rate control augmentation system design for asymmetric elevator failures in a combat plane

İlkay Gümüşboğa, Altuğ İftar (2020)

Kybernetika

Combat planes are designed in a structured relaxed static stability to meet maneuver requirements. These planes are unstable in the longitudinal axis and require continuous active control systems with elevator control. Therefore, failures in the elevator can have vital consequences for flight safety. In this work, the performance of classical control approach against asymmetric elevator failures is investigated and it is shown that this approach is insufficient in the case of such a failure. Then,...

Flat outputs of two-input driftless control systems

Shun-Jie Li, Witold Respondek (2012)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

We study the problem of flatness of two-input driftless control systems. Although a characterization of flat systems of that class is known, the problems of describing all flat outputs and of calculating them is open and we solve it in the paper. We show that all x-flat outputs are parameterized by an arbitrary function of three canonically defined variables. We also construct a system of 1st order PDE’s whose solutions give all x-flat outputs of two-input driftless systems. We illustrate our results...

Forecasting return products in an integrated forward/reverse supply chain utilizing an ANFIS

D. Thresh Kumar, Hamed Soleimani, Govindan Kannan (2014)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Interests in Closed-Loop Supply Chain (CLSC) issues are growing day by day within the academia, companies, and customers. Many papers discuss profitability or cost reduction impacts of remanufacturing, but a very important point is almost missing. Indeed, there is no guarantee about the amounts of return products even if we know a lot about demands of first products. This uncertainty is due to reasons such as companies' capabilities in collecting End-of-Life (EOL) products, customers' interests...

Fuzzy controller applications in stand-alone photovoltaic systems.

Joaquín Cañada Bago, Sebastián García Galán, Jorge Aguilera, Juan Ramón Velasco, Luis Magdalena (2002)

Mathware and Soft Computing

One of foremost problems in stand-alone photovoltaic systems consists on the election of a strategy for charge controllers. The charge controllers main function is the accumulation system protection, and this leads to an extension of the batteries lifetime, thus reducing the long term economic cost of the installation. This document describes a Fuzzy Logic based charge controller. In order to show the designed charge controller operation, firstly, a succession of simulations have been carried out...
