R. Vepa et F. Caliskan, APPLICATION OF OBSERVERS TO MONITORING, FAILURE-DETECTION AND FAULT-DIAGNOSIS IN AIRCRAFT FLIGHT CONTROL, Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers. Part G, Journal of aerospace engineering, 209(G1), 1995, pp. 65-73
In this paper the application of observers to monitoring, failure dete
ction and fault diagnosis in aircraft flight control systems is discus
sed in detail. New results concerning the design of parameter-insensit
ive observers are presented. The feasibility of real-time implementati
on of a monitoring and failure detection and diagnosis scheme on multi
ple transputers is investigated and it is shown that the real-time per
formance specifications can be met and that the method could be used i
n practice.
