In this paper, a redundancy management system for aircraft is studied, and fault detection and isolation algorithms of inertial sensor system are proposed. Contrary to the conventional aircraft systems, UAV system cannot allow triple or quadruple hardware redundancy due to the limitations on space and weight. In the UAV system with dual sensors, it is very difficult to identify the faulty sensor. Also, conventional fault detection and isolation (FDI) method cannot isolate multiple faults in a triple redundancy system. In this paper, two FDI techniques are proposed. First, hardware based FDI technique is proposed, which combines a parity equation approach with a wavelet based technique. Second, analytic FDI technique based on the Kalman filter is proposed, which is a model-based FDI method utilizing the threshold value and the confirmation time. To provide the reference value for detecting the fault, residuals are calculated using the extended Kalman filter. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed FDI methods, numerical simulations are performed.

Various physical limitations which intrinsically exist in the manipulator control system, for example kinematic limits and torque limit, cause some undesirable effects. Specifically, when one or more actuators are saturated the expected control performance can not be anticipated and in some cases it induces instability of the system. The effect of torque limit, especially for redundant manipulators, is studied in this article, and an analytic method to reconstruct the control input using the redundancy is proposed based on the kinematically decomposed modeling of redundant manipulators. It results to no degradation of the output motion closed-loop dynamics at the cost of the least degradation of the null motion closed-loop dynamics. Numerical simulations help to verify the advantages of the proposed scheme.

Purpose: In this study, the lifetime distribution of a k-out-of-n system with heterogeneous components is suggested as Markov model, and the time-to-failure (TTF) distribution of each component is considered as phase-type distribution (PHD). Furthermore, based on the model, a redundancy allocation problem with a mix of components (RAPMC) is proposed. Methods: The lifetime distribution model for the system is formulated by the structured Markov chain. From the model, the various information on the system lifetime can be ascertained by the matrix-analytic (or-geometric) method. Conclusion: By the generalization of TTF distribution (PHD) and the consideration of heterogeneous components, the lifetime distribution model can delineate many real systems and be exploited for developing system operation policies such as preventive maintenance, warranty. Moreover, the effectiveness of the proposed RAPMC is verified by numerical experiments. That is, under the equivalent design conditions, it presented a system with higher reliability than RAP without component mixing (RAPCM).

2자유도 관성센서는 두 입력축이 기계적으로 연관되어 있기 때문에 해당하는 관성센서의 두 입력축에 동시에 고장이 발생할 확률이 매우 높다. 따라서 하드웨어 여분만으로 고장검출 및 분리를 수행하기 위해서는 최소한 4개의 관성센서를 사용하여야 한다. 2자유도 관성센서를 3개 중첩해서 사용하는 경우 기존의 하드웨어 여분기법으로는 고장검출은 가능하나 고장분리가 불가능하다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제점을 개선하기 위해서 비선형 필터인 Unscented Kalman Filter를 이용하여 얻은 정보를 해석적 여분으로 활용하여, 하드웨어 여분과 해석적 여분을 동시에 고려한 복합 고장검출기법을 제안하였다. 제안한 복합 고장검출기법의 성능을 검증하기 위해서 비선형 항공기 수치 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다.

하드웨어 이중화 구성 수를 줄이는 대표적인 방법은 마이크로컨트롤러로 고장을 검출, 식별 및 수용을 위한 해석적 기법으로 구현하는 것이다. 본 논문에서는 해석적 기법 중 하나인 고장 검출 필터를 항공기 터보팬 엔진 시스템에 적용하였다. 고장 검출 필터는 특수한 형태의 관측기로써 특정한 고장 발생시 잔차가 출력 공간에서 일정한 방향을 유지함으로써 고장의 위치 판별이 가능한 장점이 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 터보팬 엔진 내 공기 터빈 시스템의 단일 입출력 동적 시스템 모델링, 고장 검출 필터 설계 및 이를 적용한 모의실험 결과를 나타내었다. 모의실험 결과를 통해 고장 검출 필터가 갖는 방향성에 대한 민감성 효과로 고장 검출이 유효하게 적용될 수 있음을 보였다.

Most of engine control systems for helicopter turboshaft engines are equipped with dual sensors. For the system with dual redundancy, analytic methods are used to detect faults based on the system dynamical model. Helicopter engine dynamics are affected by aerodynamic torque induced from the dynamics of the main rotor. In this paper an engine model including the rotor dynamics is constructed for the T700-GE-700 turboshaft engine powering UH-60 helicopter. The singular value decomposition(SVD) method is applied to the developed model in order to detect sensor faults. The SVD method which do not need an additional computation to generate residual uses the characteristics that the system outputs in direction of the left singular vector if an input is applied in direction of the right singular vector. Simulations show that the SVD method works well in detecting and isolating the sensor faults.

Various kinds of processes are used in the Public Sewage Treatment Works(PSTWs) in order to achieve water quality criteria and TMDL in the watershed. The performance of the existing processes at PSTWs depends on influent characteristics, effluent quality target, amount of sludge production, power cost and other factors. In present, the Selection Guideline for the Available Treatment Process of PSTWs is used for a process decision in the country. But there are some problems regarding redundancy of assessment factors and complexity of assessment procedure in the guideline. In this study, we did a test application of AHP for process selection of PSTWs, which propose is to simplify assessment factors such as pollutant removal amount, sludge generation, electricity consumption, stability of operation, convenience of maintenance, easiness of existing process application, installation cost, and operating cost concerning of environmental factors, technical factors and economical factors. According to the study, the PSTWs selection procedure guideline can be improved using application of AHP method.
