Detection and isolation for actuator failure for actively controlled railway wheelsets (2014)
Presentation / Conference
Mirzapour, M., & Mei, T. (2014, July). Detection and isolation for actuator failure for actively controlled railway wheelsets. Presented at UKACC International Control Conference 2014, Loughborough

This paper studies a model-based approach for the condition monitoring of an actively controlled railway system, with a focus on actuator failures to detect and isolate failure modes in such a system. It seeks to establish the necessary basis for fau... Read More about Detection and isolation for actuator failure for actively controlled railway wheelsets.

Fault detection and isolation for an active wheelset control system (2014)
Journal Article
Mirzapour, M., Mei, T., & Xuesong, J. (2014). Fault detection and isolation for an active wheelset control system. Vehicle System Dynamics, 52(Sup_1), 157-171. https://doi.org/10.1080/00423114.2014.887210

Active control for railway wheelsets in the primary suspension has been shown to offer a number of performance gains, and especially it can be used to stabilise the wheelsets without compromising the vehicle's performance on curves. However, the use... Read More about Fault detection and isolation for an active wheelset control system.

Fault tolerant strategy of actuator failure for actively controlled railway wheelsets
Presentation / Conference
Mirzapour, M., Mei, T., & Li, H. Fault tolerant strategy of actuator failure for actively controlled railway wheelsets. Presented at 2014 UKACC International Conference on Control, Loughborough University

This paper presents the development of a fault-tolerant scheme through an analytical redundancy approach for actively controlled railway wheelsets. The main aim of the study is to maintain the basic control of the rail vehicles in the event of actuat...
