Hybrid Actuation

Generalized stochastic Petri nets is adopted to develop the reliability models of two operating modes of the hybrid actuation system, which is composed of a SHA (Servo valve controlled Hydraulic Actuator), an EHA (Electro-Hydrostatic Actuator) and an EBHA (Electrical Back-up Hydrostatic Actuator).The dependability of hybrid actuation is got through the Markov chain which the Petri nets sate is isomorphic to and the Monte-Carlo simulation. Simulations are conducted to analyze influences of the operating mode and the fault coverage on system reliability of hybrid actuation system.

Mode A

Hybrid actuation system (HAS) with dissimilar redundancies conforms to the development trend of future actuation systems in more electric aircraft (MEA). Hybrid Actuation system is composed of a traditional servo valve controlled hydraulic actuator (SHA) and an electro-hydraulic actuator (EHA). It has two operating models, active/passive mode (A/P) and active/active mode (A/A). In A/A model both actuators are actively controlled. Corresponding to A/A model, SHA is actively controlled and EHA is passively controlled in A/P model. The hybrid actuation system is built in the AMESim simulation environment, comparative analysis is performed when system operates in these two modes, such as signal response and force fighting. The simulation results provide a guideline to determine the specific operating mode of the system in different circumstances.

Generalized Stochastic Petri Nets

The jet pipe servo valve is widely used in the military fields of aviation and ship, whose reliability has obvious randomness and dynamic. However, existing methods are either having complicated theory or analyzing static reliability. Based on the generalized stochastic petri nets (GSPN) theory and the collected basic failure modes and failure rate data of jet pipe servo valve, this paper proposes a novel modeling and simulating method for system’s dynamic behavior analysis. In this method, the dynamic reliability model considering failure’s random and repair is established and is simulated using GSPN software. Then, the steady state probability of servo valve is calculated, which is compared with the value calculated by Markov method. Finally, the dynamic reliability parameters of jet pipe servo valve are calculated using collected failure rate data and different repair rate data. Results show the probability that the maximum error between methods of GSPN and Markov is 2.07%, the optimal repair rate set is less than 1.71µi, and also the dynamic reliability parameters become better with increasing simulation time because of failure’s recovery. Therefore, research methods and results based on GSPN are concise and realistic, which can be used for failure’s qualitative forecast and dynamic reliability’s quantitative calculation of similar complicated system.
