Review of Mathematical Inconsistencies in the Practices to Assess SIL of SIS − Toward a Novel Approach for Risk Reduction

Laurent Cauffriez

A review of the literature has highlighted that there are many approximations and ambiguities in practices for assessing Safety Integrity Level (SIL) of Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS). The aim of this paper is to make at first a review of mathematical inconsistencies in the practices for…

On the Discretization of a Class of Homogeneous Differentiators

Jose Eduardo Carvajal Rubio, Alexander Loukianov, Juan Diego Sanchez-Torres, Michael Defoort

This paper proposes explicit and implicit discrete-time realizations for a class of homogeneous sliding-mode-based differentiators. The proposed approach relies on the exact discretization of the continuous differentiator. Also, it is demonstrated that the proposed implicit discretization always…

Nondestructive evaluation of delamination cracks in textile composites by using 3-dimensional reconstruction from acoustical imaging

Wei-Jiang Xu, Yao Xu, Sylvain Treutenaere, Franck Lauro

An acoustical imaging technique performing 3-dimentional (3D) reconstruction and visualization of materials was developed and used to evaluate delamination cracks in textile composites. The method is based on 2-dimentional (2D) mechanical scan combined with ultrasonic A-scan to obtain 3D volumetric…

A class of robust consensus algorithms with predefined-time convergence under switching topologies

Rodrigo Aldana-Lopez, David Gomez-Gutierrez, Michael Defoort, Juan Diego Sanchez-Torres, Aldo-Jonathan J Muñoz-Vázquez

This paper addresses the robust consensus problem under switching topologies. Contrary to existing methods, the proposed approach provides decentralized protocols that achieve consensus for networked multiagent systems in a predefined time. Namely, the protocol design provides a tuning parameter…
