In this second edition of Electronic Engine Control Technologies, the latest advances and technologies of electronic engine control are explored in a collection of 99 technical papers, none of which were included in the book's first edition. Editor Ronald K. Jurgen offers an informative introduction, "Neural Networks on the Rise," clearly explaining the book's overall format and layout. The book then closely examines the many areas surrounding electronic engine control technologies, including: specific engine controls, diagnostics, engine modeling, innovative solid-state hardware and software systems, communication techniques for engine control, neural network applications, and the future of electronic engine controls.

The transition from mechanical to redundant digital electronic flight controls started in 1950 and is at a rather advanced state. The first few full authority digital electronic engine control systems have completed initial development. Many of the control laws and redundancy management techniques that were pioneered in flight controls are directly applicalbe to digital engine controls. Section 1 outlines the authors' recommended system design approach. Section 2 discusses some considerations for the design of electronically implemented control laws. Section 3 describes a typical redundancy management concept, based on digital flight control techniques, for a quadruplex engine control system, This is followed by the author's recommended analysis methodology to determine the probability of control system failure. The conclusion of Section 3 discusses some implications that use the probability theory has on the control system design requirements. Section 4 discusses the recommended integration, development test and validation test approach of the authors. (Author).

This reference book provides a comprehensive insight into todays diesel injection systems and electronic control. It focusses on minimizing emissions and exhaust-gas treatment. Innovations by Bosch in the field of diesel-injection technology have made a significant contribution to the diesel boom. Calls for lower fuel consumption, reduced exhaust-gas emissions and quiet engines are making greater demands on the engine and fuel-injection systems.

The purpose of this document is to provide reference material for establishing compatibility of electronic gas turbine engine control systems and associated components with the electromagnetic environment and achieving compliance with associated airworthiness requirements.

This Full Authority Fault Tolerant Electronic Engine Control program (FAFTEEC) was performed under Contract F33615-79-C-2082. The program was a 25-month study to develop design guidance for utilizing redundancy to provide control system architectures capable of very high levels of reliability. The study configured several such systems and evaluated the reliability, cost-of-ownership, weight and implementation. Conclusions of this program were that FAFTEEC goals are obtainable through redundancy and that the resulting system can be obtained at a reasonable cost and weight through dual system advanced technology. Analysis provided by the FAFTEEC allows for the following conclusions to be reached: FAFTEEC goals are reasonable, Redundant systems are required, Single string technology is not cost and weight effective, Coverage of dual systems is extremely important, Coverage via software is complex, costly and will not provide 100 percent coverage, and Dual system technology must be included throughout all system components.
