Model-based fault detection and isolation design for flight-critical actuators in a Harsh environment

Presents a collection of slides covering the following topics: model based fault detection approaches increase safety in flight critical systems by minimizing false alarms and non-detection occurrences; it is a validation criteria for flight critical system designs, required by aeronautical standards [ARP 4754 / 61]; model based approaches is a solution for reducing material redundancies in aircrafts; and compared to limit-checking or mean-checking methods, observer-based approaches take into account the nonlinearities of the model.
