In this paper, an adaptive robust fault-tolerant control scheme is developed for attitude tracking control of a medium-scale unmanned autonomous helicopter with rotor flapping dynamics, external unknown disturbances and actuator faults. For the convenience of control design, the actuator dynamics with respect to the tail rotor are introduced. The adaptive fault observer and robust item are employed to observe the actuator faults and eliminate the effect of external disturbances, respectively. A backstepping-based robust fault-tolerant control scheme is designed with the aim of obtaining satisfactory tracking performance and closed-loop system stability is proved via Lyapunov analysis, which guarantees the convergence of all closed-loop system signals. Simulation results are given to show the effectiveness of the proposed control method.

This article deals with the sliding mode fault-tolerant control (FTC) problem for a nonlinear system described under Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy representation. In particular, the nonlinear system is corrupted with multiplicative actuator faults, process faults, and uncertainties. We start by constructing the separated FTC design to ensure robust stability of the closed-loop nonlinear system. First, we propose to conceive an adaptive observer in order to estimate nonlinear system states, as well as robust multiplicative fault estimation. The novelty of the proposed approach is that the observer gains are obtained by solving the multiobjective linear matrix inequality (LMI) optimization problem. Second, an adaptive sliding mode controller is suggested to offer a solution to stabilize the closed-loop system despite the occurrence of real fault effects. Compared with the separated FTC, this paper provides an integrated sliding mode FTC in order to achieve an optimal robustness interaction between observer and controller models. Thus, in a single-step LMI formulation, sufficient conditions are developed with multiobjective optimization performances to guarantee the stability of the closed-loop system. At last, nonlinear simulation results are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed FTC to treat multiplicative faults.

Reference trajectory management is a method to modify reference trajectories for the faulty system. The modified reference trajectories define new maneuvers for the system to retain its pre-fault dynamic performance. Controller reconfiguration is another method to handle faults in the system, for instance by adjusting the controller parameters (coefficients). Both of these two methods have been considered in the literature and are proven to be capable of handling various faults. However, the comparison of these two methods has not been considered sufficiently. In this paper, a controller reconfiguration mechanism and a reference trajectory management are proposed for the spacecraft attitude fault tolerant control problem. Then, these two methods are compared under the same conditions, and it is shown that the proposed controller reconfiguration has better performance than the proposed reference trajectory management. The reason is that the controller reconfiguration has more variables to modify the closed-loop system behavior.

This paper studies the containment control problem for a class of nonlinear multi-agent systems (MASs) with actuator faults (AFs) and external disturbance under switching communication topologies. To address this problem, a new fuzzy fault-tolerant containment control method is developed via utilizing adaptive mechanisms. Furthermore, a sufficient condition is obtained to guarantee the stability of the considered closed-loop system by the dwell time technique combined with Lyapunov stability theory. Unlike the traditional method to estimate the weight matrix, the fuzzy logic system is used to estimate the norm of weight vectors. Thus, the difficulty that the unknown nonlinear function cannot be compensated for when the actuator produces outage or stuck fault is solved. Compared with the existing controllers for nonlinear MASs, the proposed controller is more suitable for the considered problem under the influence of AFs that are detrimental to the operation of each agent system. Besides which, the closed-loop system is proven to be stable by using the developed controller, and all followers converge asymptotically to the convex hull formed by the leaders. Finally, an example based on a reduced-order aircraft model is presented to verify the effectiveness of the designed control scheme.

In this paper, a new method of analyzing for the performance loss caused by faults in the systems is presented, and applied to the design of a fault tolerant longitudinal controller for a transit bus. Based on the amount of performance loss measured by a quadratic function, fault impact assessment is developed for both single and multiple faults. More specifically, ellipsoidal approximation of the tracking error bounds via dynamic surface control (DSC) is obtained via convex optimization technique for the nonlinear closed-loop system. Relying on the fault impact to the closed loop system and its isolatability on a fault detection and diagnosis system, the fault classification is proposed to provide a switching logic in the framework of a switched hierarchical structure. Finally, simulation results of the fault tolerant controller and corresponding fault classification are shown for multiple multiplicative faults.

This paper is concerned with the problem of designing a fault-tolerant controller for uncertain discrete-time networked control systems against actuator possible fault. The step difference between the running stepkand the time stamp of the used plant state is modeled as a finite state Markov chain of which the transition probabilities matrix information is limited. By introducing actuator fault indicator matrix, the closed-loop system model is obtained by means of state augmentation technique. The sufficient conditions on the stochastic stability of the closed-loop system are given and the fault-tolerant controller is designed by solving a linear matrix inequality. A numerical example is presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

In this study, a fault tolerant heading control system is designed for a one-third scale fixed wing vertical takeoff-and-landing unmanned aerial vehicle, Turac. A nonlinear six degrees-of-freedom (DoF) mathematical model is obtained and linearized at the calculated trim flight condition. A proportional heading control system is designed as a nominal horizontal flight controller. Detection and isolation of the faults that can occur during flight are performed by Kalman filters which are designed individually for each sensor output. After the fault isolation process the obtained fault data is fed to the reconfigurable Kalman filter. Then the feedback signal from the faulty sensor is blocked and the estimated output from the reconfigurable Kalman filter is fed to the control system. So, the closed-loop system could follow the reference signal without updating the controller’s parameters. Simulation studies are performed on the closed-loop system for faulty sensor situations.
