    摘要: A sensor in an engineering system can be tested to detect, isolate and accommodate faults. Initially, a modeled sensor value of each actual sensor value is generated as a function of a plurality of other sensors. An absolute value of a difference between the actual sensor value and the modeled sensor value is then computed and compared to a predetermined threshold. A sensor fault is detected if the difference is greater than the predetermined threshold. Once a sensor fault is detected, it is isolated using hypothesis testing and maximum wins strategies. After the fault is isolated, the fault is accommodated by substituting the modeled sensor value for the actual sensor value.

    摘要: Methods of increasing lifetimes of components in a gas turbine engine. Ordinarily, components are replaced after they experience a certain number of thermal cycles, or a certain operating temperature limit is exceeded. Under one form of the invention, the components are not replaced at that time, but are subjected to increased cooling, which decreases the highest temperature reached in subsequent thermal cycles. Also, many components are replaced when acceleration of an engine falls below a target. In one form of the invention, the components are not replaced, but (1) scheduled fuel flow is increased and (2) compressor stall margin also increased, in order to attain the target acceleration.
