Fault diagnosis and fault‐tolerant control in aerospace systems

Model-based fault diagnosis for aerospace systems: a survey

This survey of model-based fault diagnosis focuses on those methods that are applicable to aerospace systems. To highlight the characteristics of aerospace models, generic nonlinear dynamical modelling from flight mechanics is recalled and a unifying representation of sensor and actuator faults is presented. An extensive bibliographical review supports a description of the key points of fault d...

Fault Diagnosis of Networked Control Systems

Networked Control Systems (NCSs) deal with feedback control systems with loops closed via data communication networks. Control over a network has many advantages compared with traditionally controlled systems, such as a lower implementation cost, reduced wiring, simpler installation and maintenance and higher reliability. Nevertheless, the networkinduced delay, packet dropout, asynchronous beha...

Dynamics and Control of Aerospace Systems

Tensegrity structures consist of strings (in tension) and bars (in compression). Strings are strong, light, and foldable, so tensegrity structures have the potential to be light but strong and deployable. Pulleys, NiTi wire, or other actuators to selectively tighten some strings on a tensegrity structure can be used to control its shape. This chapter describes some principles we have found to b...
