The Application of Fuzzy Logic to the Diagnosis of Automotive Systems

Abstract

This manuscript has been reproduced from the microfilm master. UMI films the t«rt directly from the original or copy submitted. Thus, some thesis and dissertation copies are in typewriter face, while others may be from any type o f computer printer. The quality o f th is reproduction is dependent upon the quality o f the copy subm itted. Broken or indistinct print, colored or poor quality illustrations and photographs, print bleedthrough, substandard margins, and improper alignment can adversely affect reproduction. In the unlikely event that the author did not send UMI a complete manuscript and there are missing pages, these will be noted. Also, if unauthorized copyright material had to be removed, a note will indicate the deletion. Oversize materials (e.g., maps, drawings, charts) are reproduced by sectioning the original, beginning at the upper left-hand com er and continuing from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. Each original is also photographed in one exposure and is included in reduced form at the back o f the book. Photographs included in the original manuscript have been reproduced xerographically in this copy. Higher quality 6" x 9" black and white photographic prints are available for any photographs or illustrations appearing in this copy for an additional charge. Contact UMI directly to order.

Nonlinear-Fuzzy Based Design Actuator Fault Diagnosis for the Satellite Attitude Control System

“…These methods make use of the large amount of process history data. Fuzzy logic technique has been investigated as powerful decision making tool as they can be used as supervisory schemes to make the fault analysis decisions [6], [7]. The basic idea behind the model based observer approaches is to estimate the states of the system by using either Linear or Nonlinear observers.…”
