Skormin, 994 SUNY Binghamton Fault Modes of an Electro-Hydraulic Flight Actuator bearing control surface Fault Modes Control surface loss Excessive bearing friction hydraulic cylinder Hydraulic system leakage Air in hydraulic system Excessive cylinder friction Malfunction of pump control valve Rotor mechanical damage Motor magnetism loss pump motor power amplifier
27 Select Fault ID Feature Vector The Fault Feature Vector is a sufficient statistic for identifying existing fault modes and conditions Use Physics of Failure and Failure Models to select failure features to include in feature vectors Method - Dynamical System Diagnostic Models motor dynamics ω( s) T ( s) = Js + B V. Skormin, 994 SUNY Binghamton pump/piston dynamics X ( s) F( s) = ( M p s + B p ) s actuator system dynamics P( s) R( s) = ( A 2 ) s K + L Physical parameters are J, B, M p, B p, K, L
28 Select Feature Vector Relate physical parameters J, B, M p, B p, K, L to fault modes Get expert opinion (from manufacturer or from user group) Get actual fault/failure legacy data from recorded machine histories Or run system testbed under induced faults Result - V. Skormin, 994 SUNY Binghamton IF (leakage coeff. L is large) IF (motor damping coeff. B is large) AND (piston damping coeff. B p is large) IF (actuator stiffness K is small) AND (piston damping coeff. B p is small) Etc. Condition Fault Mode THEN (fault is hydraulic system leakage) THEN (fault is excess cylinder friction) THEN (fault is air in hydraulic system) Etc. Therefore, select the physical parameters as the feature vector φ( t ) = [ J B M B K L] p p T
29 V. Skormin, 994 SUNY Binghamton Select Sensors for the Best Outputs to Measure Cannot directly measure the feature vector φ( t ) = [ J B M B K L] Can measure the inputs and outputs of the dynamical blocks, e.g. p p T armature current I(t) pressure difference P(t) ω( s) T( s) Js+ B motor speed D T ( t) = CI ( t) P( t) = ω(t) 2π Therefore, use system identification techniques to estimate the features Virtual Sensors = physical sensors + signal processing signals from machine sensors DSP Fault ID features
30 Select Fault ID Feature Vector Method 2- Non-Model-Based Techniques Get expert opinion (from manufacturer or from user group) Get actual fault/failure legacy data from recorded machine histories Or run system testbed under induced faults IF (base mount vibration energy is large) IF (shaft vibration second mode is large) AND (motor vibration RMS value is large) IF (third harmonic of shaft speed is present) AND (kurtosis of load vibration is large) Etc. Condition Fault Mode THEN (fault is unbalance) THEN (fault is gear tooth wear) THEN (fault is worn outer ball bearing) Etc. Therefore, include vibration moments and frequencies in the feature vector φ (t) = [ time signals frequency signals ] T

38 Dempster-Shafer Example Suppose there are 00 cars in a parking lot consisting of type A (red) and B (green). Two policemen count the type of cars in the lot. First policeman m says that there are 30 A cars and 20 B cars. Second policeman m2 says that there are 20 A cars and 20 cars that could A or B. m2(a) 0.2 m2(ab) 0.2 m2(θ) 0.6 Using the formulas above: m(a) m(b) (0 intersection) CONFLICT m(θ) Bel(A)=m2(A)=0.42. (42 A cars) Bel(B)=m2(B)=0.7. (7 B cars) So there are between 42 and 83 cars of type A between 7 and 58 cars of type B Pl(A)= m2(a)+m2(ab)+m2(θ)=0.83. (83 A cars) Pl(B)= m2(b)+m2(ab)+m2(θ)=0.58.
