In this paper, two vital signals to enable flight envelope protection, namely the onset to the flight envelope (limit margin) and the available control travel to reach the limit boundary (control margin), are estimated using improved noniterative adaptive neural-network-based approximate models. The adaptive elements use current and past information (concurrent learning) and have guaranteed signal bounds. Minimum singular value maximization is used to record data for concurrent learning. Results showed better convergence properties of the network weights compared with results in the literature in which only the current data is used for network weight updates. Two methods are introduced to calculate control margins from approximate models. None of the introduced methods require iteration and therefore remove previously introduced assumptions related to iteration convergence. A nonlinear fixed-wing aircraft model is used to show the effectiveness in simulation for estimating limit and control margins and avoiding the limit through artificial control saturation.

Simulator based evaluation of adaptive envelope protection algorithms for active sidestick controllers Ünal, Zeynep; Yavrucuk, İlkay; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2019) In this thesis, a simulator environment with an active control system is developed for testing different force feedback maps for flight envelope limit avoidance. Previously developed flight envelope protection algorithm; named direct adaptive limit margin estimation method is improved with Single Hidden Layer Neural Network. Neural network based adaptive models are developed online using concurrent learning algorithm for weight update laws. Concurrent learning method uses both current data and recorded past...
Direct adaptive flight envelope protection Gürsoy, Gönenç; Yavrucuk, İlkay; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2016) In this thesis, two vital signals to enable flight envelope protection, namely the onset to the flight envelope, i.e. limit margin, and the available control travel to reach the limit boundary, i.e. control margin, are estimated using adaptive neural-network-based approximate models. An adaptive learning method, known as concurrent learning, is used to update the adaptive weights online with guaranteed signal bounds. Current and previously recorded data are used concurrently in the weight update. Minimum si...
Path verification in software-defined networks using programmable data planes Bostan, Hakan; Onur, Ertan; Department of Computer Engineering (2022-1) Software-Defined Networks (SDNs) revamp the traditional network architectures by segregating the data plane and control plane and introducing a programmable and log- ically centralized control plane. Although SDNs bring along extensive improvements, as well as solutions to some of the network security problems, the security of SDN itself is often overlooked. Especially the security of the data plane is often overlooked because of the widespread assumption that the data plane devices are trusted. How- ever, ...
Concurrent Learning Enabled Adaptive Limit Detection for Active Pilot Cueing Yavrucuk, İlkay (2010-08-02) Adaptive dynamic models are commonly used to estimate allowable control travel and the proximity to a limiting flight condition in the design of advanced envelope protection algorithms for fly-by-wire aircraft. In this paper linear models are compensated with adaptive neural networks to build adaptive models of relevant aircraft dynamics. Neural networks are trained online not only using instantaneous sensor data, but also a stack of data collected during flight. The additional stack is made up of transient...
Concurrent Learning Enabled Adaptive Limit Detection for Active Pilot Cueing Gursoy, Gonenc; Yavrucuk, İlkay (2014-09-01) Neural-network-based adaptive dynamic models are commonly used to estimate allowable control travel and the proximity to a limiting flight condition in the design of advanced envelope protection algorithms for fly-by-wire aircraft. In this paper, linear models are compensated with adaptive neural networks, which use instantaneous sensor data as well as past flight history information for concurrent learning. A law for collecting appropriate training data into the history stack is established. It is observed...
