Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
The proposal forms a sequel to SERC Grant No. F63688 which funded a research program into the development of a knowledge-based system for the assessment of hydraulic system integrity. This new proposal builds upon the results of the previous work and will extend and tailor it to create a program suitable for analysing the effects of faults in the complex electro-hydro- mechanical systems typically employed in aerospace applications.Such an extension requires the identification and development of techniques for the modelling of dynamic behaviour within the qualitative reasoning framework. New techniques will be required and the reasoning process will have to be extended to include temperature and contamination levels as parameters. A graded series of typical aircraft systems will be identified in collaboration with an industrial partner, ranging from simple 3 or 4 component servo-mechanisms to more complex systems incorporating 10-15 main components. The industrial partner will also participate in structured knowledge acquisition sessions to enable sufficient models to be developed for automated analysis of these typical systems to be performed. Comparisons with manually constructed FMEA's for the example systems will be made on the bases of accuracy, completeness and time required.
