Fault Tolerant Control of Large Civil Aircraft


Free Download Fault Tolerant Control of Large Civil Aircraft
English | 2024 | ISBN: 9819716535 | 157 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 36 MB
This book provides a comprehensive analysis of fault tolerant control (FTC) for more-electric civil aircraft. FTC is a crucial approach to enhance the reliability and safety of aircraft in the event of actuator, sensor, or structural failures. Engineers and scientists from diverse disciplines, including aeronautics, electrical, mechanical, and control engineering, have been drawn to research on FTC. This book analyzes the impact of faults on performance degradation in dissimilar redundant actuation systems of civil aircraft and presents the FTC methods to ensure reliable actuation and efficient control. Additionally, this book addresses surface damage issues, such as the loss of elevator, horizontal stabilizer, and rudder, by providing representative FTC methods. The book’s major highlight is its comprehensive and systematic approach to FTC design, making it an ideal resource for readers interested in learning about FTC design for civil aircraft. The book benefits researchers, engineers, and graduate students in the fields of FTC, adaptive control, flight control, etc.

Fault Lines After COVID-19 Global Economic Challenges and Opportunities


Free Download Robert Z. Aliber, "Fault Lines After COVID-19: Global Economic Challenges and Opportunities"
English | ISBN: 3031264819 | 2023 | 380 pages | PDF | 8 MB
This book explores the central economic and political issues defining the modern world. With contributions from a number of world renowned economists, a range of topical debates are discussed in an accessible and practical manner. The topics discussed include the current economic and political backdrop, global economic shifts, challenges within central banking and financial integration, the international monetary and financial system, and geopolitical tensions. Particular attention is given to the transition to a low carbon economy, the perils of public debt, the post-COVID-19 recovery, and the conflict in Ukraine.

Solving Fault Diagnosis Problems (2nd Edition)


Free Download Solving Fault Diagnosis Problems: Linear Synthesis Techniques with Julia Code Examples
English | 2024 | ISBN: 3031357663 | 760 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 58 MB
The goal of this new edition is the same as for the first edition "to address the fault detection and isolation topics from a computational perspective", by covering the same important aspects, namely, (1) providing a completely general theoretical treatment of fault and model detection problems for linear time-invariant systems; (2) presenting the best suited numerical approaches to solve the specific computational problems; (3) providing supporting software to solve the analysis and filter synthesis problems. In this second edition, the changes in the theoretical presentation are minor and all known errors and typos have been corrected. The major difference to the first edition is in the underlying computational support, which is now based on software developed in a relatively new language called Julia. The presentation of synthesis procedures and examples is similar to the first edition, but it is now interlaced with Julia codes which can be used to reproduce all computational examples and figures presented in the book. An Appendix has been added to cover some basic issues related to using Julia and the new FaultDetectionTools and DescriptorSystems packages.

Underground, Overground The fault lines of football clubs


Free Download Andi Thomas, "Underground, Overground: The fault lines of football clubs"
English | 2021 | ISBN: 1919624015 | EPUB | pages: 176 | 0.4 mb
"The Domesday Book of modern football"Michael Calvin "A book of real soul and poetry that fundamentally understands football is by the people, and for the people"John Nicholson What is a football club, really, when you get right down to it? In 2001, the owners of Wimbledon announced one possible answer to this a football club is a thing that can be moved to Milton Keynes. A year later, Wimbledon’s fans provided another answer when they founded AFC Wimbledon. This moment wasn’t just exceptionally controversial. It also forced English football to look at itself and consider what it is that truly matters about football clubs. Is it the connection between club and place, or between fans and players? Or do the interests of the owners trump all other concerns? Does a connection with the past matter more than the prospects for the future? Can a club ever be moved, and if not, why not? And what even is ‘Milton Keynes’? This book looks at how football fans have answered and continue to answer these questions. How ordinary supporters, in all their wide and glorious variety, think about the clubs they follow up and down the country. For some, their club is a community.For others, a family. And for a few, it is a thing with a soul.

Fault-Tolerant Cooperative Control of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles


Free Download Fault-Tolerant Cooperative Control of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
English | 2024 | ISBN: 981997660X | 382 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 33 MB
This book focuses on the fault-tolerant cooperative control (FTCC) of multiple unmanned aerial vehicles (multi-UAVs). It provides systematic and comprehensive descriptions of FTCC issues in multi-UAVs concerning faults, external disturbances, strongly unknown nonlinearities, and input saturation. Further, it addresses FTCC design from longitudinal motions to attitude motions, and outer-loop position motions of multi-UAVs. The book’s detailed control schemes can be used to enhance the flight safety of multi-UAVs.
