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-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.

Robust Control of Robots Fault Tolerant Approaches


Free Download Robust Control of Robots: Fault Tolerant Approaches By Siqueira, Adriano A G;Terra, Marco H;Bergerman, Marcel
2011 | 228 Pages | ISBN: 0857298976 | PDF | 5 MB
Robust Control of Robotsbridges the gap between robust control theory and applications, with a special focus on robotic manipulators. It is divided into three parts:robust control of regular, fully-actuated robotic manipulators;robust post-failure control of robotic manipulators; androbust control of cooperative robotic manipulators.In each chapter the mathematical concepts are illustrated with experimental results obtained with a two-manipulator system. They are presented in enough detail to allow readers to implement the concepts in their own systems, or in Control Environment for Robots, a MATLAB(R)-based simulation program freely available from the authors.The target audience forRobust Control of Robotsincludes researchers, practicing engineers, and graduate students interested in implementing robust and fault tolerant control methodologies to robotic manipulators.

Radiation Tolerant Electronics, Volume II


Free Download Radiation Tolerant Electronics, Volume II by Paul Leroux
English | PDF | 2023 | 184 Pages | ISBN : 3036564454 | 30.2 MB
Research on radiation tolerant electronics has increased rapidly over the last few years, resulting in many interesting approaches to model radiation effects and design radiation hardened integrated circuits and embedded systems. This research is strongly driven by the growing need for radiation hardened electronics for space applications, high-energy physics experiments such as those on the large hadron collider at CERN, and many terrestrial nuclear applications, including nuclear energy and safety management. With the progressive scaling of integrated circuit technologies and the growing complexity of electronic systems, their ionizing radiation susceptibility has raised many exciting challenges, which are expected to drive research in the coming decade.

Fault-Tolerant Control for Time-Varying Delayed T-S Fuzzy Systems


Free Download Fault-Tolerant Control for Time-Varying Delayed T-S Fuzzy Systems
English | 2023 | ISBN: 981991356X | 372 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 38 MB
This book delves into the complexities of fault estimation and fault-tolerant control for nonlinear time-delayed systems. Through the use of multiple-integral observers, it addresses fault estimation and active fault-tolerant control for time-delayed fuzzy systems with actuator faults and both actuator and sensor faults. Additionally, the book explores the use of sliding mode control to solve issues of sensor fault estimation, intermittent actuator fault estimation, and active fault-tolerant control for time-delayed switched fuzzy systems. Furthermore, it presents the use of H∞ guaranteed cost control for both time-delayed switched fuzzy systems and time-delayed switched fuzzy stochastic systems with intermittent actuator and sensor faults. Finally, the problem of delay-dependent finite-time fault-tolerant control for uncertain switched T-S fuzzy systems with multiple time-varying delays, intermittent process faults and intermittent sensor faults is studied. The research on fault estimation and tolerant control has drawn attention from engineers and scientists in various fields such as electrical, mechanical, aerospace, chemical, and nuclear engineering. The book provides a comprehensive framework for this topic, placing a strong emphasis on the importance of stability analysis and the impact of result conservatism on the design and implementation of observers and controllers. It is intended for undergraduate and graduate students interested in fault diagnosis and tolerant control technology, researchers studying time-varying delayed T-S fuzzy systems, and observer/controller design engineers working on system stability applications.

A Most Tolerant Little Town The Explosive Beginning of School Desegregation [Audiobook]


Free Download A Most Tolerant Little Town: The Explosive Beginning of School Desegregation (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0BRDHPD8W | 2023 | 10 hours and 00 minutes | MP3@64 kbps | 272 MB
Author: Rachel Louise Martin
Narrator: Janina Edwards, Megan Tusing

An intimate portrait of a small town living through tumultuous times, this propulsive piece of forgotten civil rights history-about the first school to attempt court-ordered desegregation in the wake of Brown v. Board-will forever change how you think of the end of racial segregation in America. In graduate school, Rachel Martin volunteered with a Southern oral history project. One day, she was sent to a small town in Tennessee, in the foothills of the Appalachians, where locals wanted to build a museum to commemorate the events of September 1956, when Clinton High School became the first school in the former Confederacy to undergo court-mandated desegregation. But not everyone wanted to talk. As one founder of the Tennessee White Youth told her, "Honey, there was a lot of ugliness down at the school that year; best we just move on and forget it."
