Smart Reconfigurable Fault-Tolerant Flight Control against Actuator Failures
نویسنده
چکیده
In this study, active fault tolerant flight control technique with actuation reconfiguration is proposed. For this purpose two-stage Kalman filter (TSKF) is designed to identify the control distribution matrix elements corresponding to the faulty actuator, and a control reconfiguration action is taken to keep the performance of the impaired aircraft same as that of the unimpaired aircraft. Thus the control reconfiguration is carried out using identified control distribution matrix. In the simulations, the nonlinear flight dynamics of an AFTI/F-16 fighter model is considered, and actuator failure identification and reconfigurable control are examined.

Reconfigurable Controller for Active Fault-tolerant Control Systems with Applicability to Flight Control
In this paper we design a new reconfigurable controller for active fault-tolerant control systems with direct applicability to aircraft’s flight control. The reconfigurable controller is based on a new algorithm for the calculation of the controller gain matrix without using information from a full-order or reduced order observer. The main advantages of the reconfigurable controller, when no fa...
متن کاملApplied Actuator Fault Accommodation in Flight Control Systems Using Fault Reconstruction Based FDD and SMC Reconfiguration
Historically, actuators’ redundancy was used to deal with faults occurring suddenly in flight systems. This technique was generally expensive, time consuming and involves increased weight and space in the system. Therefore, nowadays, the on-line fault diagnosis of actuators and accommodation plays a major role in the design of avionic systems. These approaches, known as Fault Tolerant Flight Co...

A fault tolerant control system design technique has been proposed and analyzed for managing performance degradation in the presence of multiple faults in actuators. The method is based on a control structure with a model reference reconfigurable control design in an inner loop and command input adjustment in an outer loop. The reduced dynamic performance requirements in the presence of differe...

متن کاملSIMONA Flight Simulator Implementation of a Fault Tolerant Sliding Mode Scheme with Control Allocation
This paper considers a sliding mode based allocation scheme for fault tolerant control. The scheme allows redistribution of the control signals to the remaining functioning actuators when a fault or failure occurs. It is shown that faults and even certain total actuator failures can be handled directly without reconfiguring the controller. The results obtained from implementing the controller o...
