A simulation environment for design and testing of aircraft adaptive fault‐tolerant control systems

Abstract: PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to present the development of a Matlab/Simulink‐based simulation environment for the design and testing of indirect and direct adaptive flight control laws with fault tolerant capabilities to deal with the occurrence of actuator and sensor failures.Design/methodology/approachThe simulation environment features a modular architecture and a detailed graphical user interface for simulation scenario set‐up. Indirect adaptive flight control laws are implemented based on an optima… Show more

“…Comparisons between detection rates for optimized and unoptimized schemes are presented. This second set of results is based upon data collected from the WVU F-15 flight simulation [34], performed using the WVU Motus six-degree-of-freedom flight simulator. The air vehicle model implemented emulates the NASA Intelligent Flight Control System F-15 research aircraft.…”

“…The lookup tables are divided to represent the aerodynamic contributions from individual control surfaces (including canards and dual rudder) to accommodate the modeling of actuator failures. Direct adaptive fault-tolerant control laws [34] are included, generating commands for the differential canard, collective and differential stabilator, differential aileron, and rudder.…”

“…Two types of aerodynamic control surface failure are modeled: jammed surface and physically damaged surface (Perhinschi et al, 2008).The first failure type corresponds to an actuator mechanism failure and results in a locked surface; in fact, at the failure occurrence, the control surface moves to a pre-defined position and remains fixed there. A failure involving a blockage of the control surface at a fixed deflection does not alter the aerodynamic properties of the control surface.…”

“…Excellent results were obtained at all levels of the FDIE process for all cases considered [36][37][38] ; however, the simplified modeling of the engine as a thrust look-up table depending on Mach number, altitude, and throttle deflection did not allow for a comprehensive treatment of the propulsion system abnormal conditions modeling and -for that matter -of the propulsion system FDIE. In this paper, the Modular Aero-Propulsion System Simulation (MAPSS) model 39,40 developed by NASA has been linearized and interfaced with a supersonic fighter aircraft model 41 and the WVU motion-based flight simulator to provide the adequate framework for the development and testing of the detection scheme. A variety of aircraft engine actuator and sensor failures were modeled and implemented into this simulation environment.…”
