The challenge of advanced model-based fdir techniques for aerospace systems: the 2011 situation

Abstract

For aerospace systems, advanced model-based Fault Detection, Identi¦-cation, and Recovery (FDIR) challenges range from predesign and design stages for upcoming and new programs up to the improvement of the performance of in-service §ying systems. However, today, their application to real aerospace world has remained extremely limited. The paper underlines the reasons for a widening gap between the advanced scienti¦c FDIR methods being developed by the academic community and technological solutions demanded by the aerospace industry.

Model-based fault diagnosis for aerospace systems: a survey

“…It is widely acknowledged by academic researchers and industrials that there is still a wide gap between state-of-the-art research in FDI and current industrial practice [34]. Within the few actually implemented schemes, diagnosis is generally part of an Integrated Vehicle Health Management (IVHM) system [314], which also includes prognosis and maintenance planning.…”

“…Emphasis will be put in this article on those modelbased quantitative methods that have been used for aerospace applications. Relatively, few books and survey papers have been published on this aspect of fault diagnosis [27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34]. The survey proposed here is supported by a large collection of references dealing with fault detection for flight systems.…”

Short investigation on system diagnosis regarding parameter estimation

“…On the other hand, recent surveys, like [2] and [12], have shown that the current research priority regarding FDD consists of finding reliable solutions for the real-time implementation of technical diagnosis systems; they need to operate under very strict time constraints and support the on-line system reconfiguration and restructuring mechanisms.…”
