An Investigation of Model-Based Design Framework for Aero-Engine Control Systems

Abstract

Abstract:In the whole aero-engine design phase, modeling and simulation technologies have been widely used for supporting the conceptual design and performance design. Due to the increasing complexity of aero-engine systems, there are however new challenges in the areas of quality management and process optimization. In particular, the integrations of various domain physical models for early system quality assessment are becoming a challenging area for the reason of quality management and engineering efficiency. In this paper, we present the initial concepts of a framework based on formal system models for allowing automated management of simulation services in the development of aero-engine systems. We exploit in particular EAST-ADL as the framework for system modeling, which captures the design and implementation of target systems, including the related requirements, constraints, verification and validation cases, etc. With the specification of verification and validation cases as inputs, an additional co-simulation service will provide the support for an automated configuration and execution of simulation tools. Currently, the co-simulation service is specified and managed based on SysML.

Multi-Fault Diagnosis of an Aero-Engine Control System Using Joint Sliding Mode Observers

“…The aero-engine control system consists of actuators, a dynamic system, and sensors [25]. In this section, we study the actuator faults and sensor faults, and analyze the typical fault model and mechanism of the actuators and sensors.…”
