In this paper a new method for crack detection in shell like structures based on lamb wave propagation and neural networks is presented. Lamb wave propagation within an aluminum plate has been modeled using explicit dynamic finite element method and verified by experimental works in literature. Having developed a reliable FEM model for lamb wave propagation, a piezoelectric actuator, eight piezoelectric sensors and a tiny groove as the crack, have been placed on the plate to produce and sense lamb waves. All sensors signals have been obtained and processed by new developed signal processing method, Hilbert Huang Transform, to find the first three peaks in their energy density spectrum. Having changed the location of the crack, numerous simulations have been done and sensor responses have been gathered to provide necessary amount of data for network training. These three peaks times have been used as the network inputs and region of the crack has been given to the network as the output. The plate has been divided to four regions and each region has been divided in four sub areas. ABAQUS FE software has been employed for modeling of the problem. A Radial Basis network has been trained successfully to find the region of the crack in the plate. Finding the region of the crack in the plate in the first step, it is possible to repeat the algorithm to find the sub area in which the crack located. The method has been verified by three test points for the crack and passed the test successfully.

We present a new actuator fault-tolerant control strategy based on the separation of sets that characterise healthy system operation from sets that characterise faulty operation. The new scheme is an extension of a similar strategy recently proposed by the authors. In the present paper we propose a new criterion for fault detection and isolation that leads to less conservative conditions for fault tolerant closed-loop stability. These new conditions employ discrete-time models for the plant, reference system and observers and allow for quicker fault detection and consequent reconfiguration of the controller.

This paper deals with the problem of obtaining fault-tolerant guarantees of a multi-sensor switching strategy for longitudinal control. The strategy selects, at each instant of time, the sensor (belonging to a collection of sensors) that provides the best closed loop performance, as measured by a control-performance criterion. It is assumed that each sensor has an associated feedback controller that has been designed such that the sensor-controller pair stabilises the closed loop system under normal operation conditions. Recent refinements for constructing ultimate-bound invariant sets allow obtaining less conservative fault-tolerant guarantees. Stability of the switching system under fault-free operation conditions and under presence of sensor failures are established in the main results of this paper.

This paper deals with the problem of achieving high performance and fault tolerance properties of a given plant by switching between a collection of different sensor-controller pairs. We assume that each sensor-controller pair has been previously designed to achieve an appropriate performance objective according to disturbances, sensor noises, available bandwidth and uncertainties. The proposed strategy selects, at each instant of time, the sensor-controller pair that minimises a suitable switching criterion. Stability of the switching system under normal (fault-free) operation conditions is established in the main result of this paper. In addition, a simulation example of active suspension control illustrates that the proposed switching system is able to maintain performance levels, and to preserve stability under the occurrence of severe faults in some of the sensors.

Modern aircrafts and missiles with high manoeuvrability present an interesting challenge to autopilot design, which has activated new investigations in estimating the potential and applicability of recent theoretical control methods as well as how they can meet industrial demands. In this paper, a multi-objective approach for autopilot design is introduced. The design requirements are formulated using several integral criteria. A hybrid-genetic algorithm (GA) is employed to solve the nonlinear optimization problem. The obtained results are verified using nonlinear simulations in SIMULINK® which shows performance, stability and robustness of the designed flight controller.

The interactions between AC and DC systems in the steady-state condition of power systems are investigated. Through a sensitivity analysis, the influence of DC control parameters on the operation of AC/DC systems and that of AC control parameters on other AC parameters with the DC system existing are discussed. The sensitivity matrices and the influence factors between AC and DC systems are analyzed from various points of view. The sensitivity analysis made in this paper is expected to be of practical significance in such problems as load flow control, parameter regulation, voltage estimation, etc.
