Abstract

Several approaches can be employed in prognostics, to detect incipient failures of primary flight command electromechanical actuators (EMA), caused by progressive wear. The development of a prognostic algorithm capable of identifying the precursors of an electromechanical actuator failure is beneficial for the anticipation of the incoming failure: a correct interpretation of the failure degradation pattern, in fact, can trig an early alert of the maintenance crew, who can properly schedule the servomechanism replacement. The research presented in this paper proposes a prognostic technique, based on approaches derived from optimization methods, able to identify symptoms of an EMA degradation before the actual exhibition of the anomalous behavior; in this case friction failures are considered. An experimental test bench was developed: results show that the method exhibit adequate robustness and a high degree of confidence in the ability to early identify an eventual fault, minimizing the risk of false alarms or not annunciated failures.
