Active System Control: Realisation

This chapter continues explanations how our approach of active system control can be applied for aircraft design. At first, we introduce a generic model of active system control as it applies to detect and cope with faults of system elements. We also briefly introduce our Graph Logic Model (GLM) and describe its logic and algebraic properties. Then we describe, in terms of a Graph Logic Model, the key algorithms to detect fault elements of the system and recover, followed by a more formal definition of how the algorithms of fault detection work iteratively, seeking to resolve the uncertainty of system conditions, The recovery scheme for a system, based on dependency matrixes introduced in previous chapters is explained, outlining how the recovery activities can be chosen when faulty elements are discovered. Finally, we give a practical example, based on Pitot tubes widely used in aircraft for measuring air pressure to illustrate how the whole scheme can work in practice using GLM and detection algorithms for modeling an air pressure control system.
