A method for thruster fault diagnosis for launch vehicle upper stage was developed. In order to protect the launch vehicle against the occurrence of faults, it is necessary to detect and identify the fault, as well as to reconfigure the controller of the vehicle. Considering the upper stage launch vehicle using reaction control system, an analytical method was adopted in order to detect the fault occurred in thruster. The fault detection scheme can be applied to the system regardless of the form of thruster fault occurred - leakage or lock-out. Results from processor-in-the-loop simulation are provided to demonstrate the validity of this fault detection and isolation scheme for the upper stage launch vehicle.

When inertial navigation system(INS) employ more sensors that mutually orthogonal sets to three, the redundant sensor system can have improved reliability and accuracy. For the redundant system the placement of redundant sensors is related to the system performance and also the number and proper orientation of sensors are important. We consider INS sensor configurations using two IMUs comprised mutually orthogonal sets of three. We suggest several configurations using two IMUs and analyze the system performance and the FDI(fault detection and isolation) properties from suggested configurations.

We consider a problem of application of analytical redundancy to engine synchronization process of spark ignition engines, which is critical to timing for every ECU process including ignition and injection. The engine synchronization process we consider here is performed using the pulse signal obtained by the revolution of crankshaft trigger wheel (CTW) coupled to crank shaft. We propose a discrete-time linear model for the signal, for which we construct FDI (Fault Detection & Isolation) system consisting residual generator and threshold based on linear observer.

A Fault Detection. Isolation scheme based on ANN(Artifical Neural Network) is proposed for the supervision of a DC shunt motor. The Proposed FDI scheme can promptly detect the occurence of fault and classify all the faults that may occur during the operation. Also. it covers the full operating range in spite that the mathematical model of the motor contain strong nonlinearities. The simulation results show that the FDIU has good diagnostic ability even in the noisy environment.

An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is an aircraft controlled by .emote commands from ground station and/o. pre-programmed onboard autopilot system. A navigation system in the UAV provides a navigation data for a flight control computer(FCC). The FCC requires accurate and reliable position, velocity and attitude information for guidance and control. This paper proposes an ADGPS/INS integrated navigation system for a UAV. The proposed navigation system comprises an attitude determination GPS (ADGPS) receive., a navigation computer unit, and a low-cost commercial MEMS inertial measurement unit(IMU). The navigation algorithm contains a fault detection and isolation (FDI) function fur integrity. In order to evaluate the performance of the proposed navigation system, two flight tests were preformed using a small aircraft. The first flight test was carried out to confirm fundamental operation of the proposed navigation system and to check the effectiveness of the FDI algorithm. In the second flight test, the navigation performance and the benefit of the GPS attitude information were checked in a high dynamic environment. The flight test results show that the proposed ADGPS/INS integrated navigation system gives a reliable performance even when anomalous GPS data is provided and better navigation performance than a conventional GPS/INS integration unit.

Observer-based fault detection and isolation (FDI) filter design method is a model-based method. By carefully choosing the observer gain, the residual outputs can be projected onto different independent subspaces. Each subspace corresponds to the monitored structural element so that the projected residual will be nonzero when the associated structural element is damaged and zero when there is no damage. The key point of detection filter design is how to find an appropriate observer gain. This problem can be interpreted in a geometric framework and is found to be equivalent to the problem of finding a decentralized static output feedback gain. But, it is still a challenging task to find the decentralized controller by either analytical or numerical methods because its solution set is, generally, non-convex. In this paper, the concept of detection filter and iterative LMI technique for decentralized controller design are combined to develop an algorithm to compute the observer gain. It can be used to monitor structural element state: healthy or damaged. The simulation results show that the developed method can successfully identify structural damages.

Hopfield networks have been applied to the problem of linear system identification. In this paper, Hopfield network based parameter identification scheme of non-linear dynamic systems is proposed. Simulation results demonstrate that Hopfield network can be used effectively for the identification of non-linear systems assuming that the system states and their time derivatives are available. Therefore, the proposed scheme can be applied in fault detection and isolation(FDI) and adaptive control of non-linear systems where the Hopfield networks perform on-line identification of system parameters.
