Research of AMU Unit Fault Testability Based on Multi-Signal Modeling and Fuzzy Decision

Abstract

The Multi-signal Flow Graph (MFG) is a simple and effective system modeling methodology, widely used in testability analysis and fault diagnosis field. In order to shorten the maintenance time and reduce the influence of human factors, the MFG method was introduced, and it was used to set up the testability model of aircraft Audio Management Unit (AMU) and found the fault-testability dependency matrix and the fault-fault dependency matrix. Based on dependency matrix and real unit fault message, the trapezoidal fuzzy number algorithm was introduced, thus the new fault diagnosis method was generated. Finally, an example proves that the fault diagnosis algorithm can not only locate the fault more accurately, but also improve the maintenance efficiency.
