This paper presents a novel fault diagnosis approach in satellite systems for identifying time-varying thruster faults. To overcome the difficulty in identifying time-varying thruster faults by adaptive observers, an iterative learning observer (ILO) is designed to achieve estimation of time-varying faults. The proposed ILO-based fault-identification strategy uses a learning mechanism to perform fault estimation instead of using integrators that are commonly used in classical adaptive observers. The stability of estimation-error dynamics is established and proved. An illustrative example clearly shows that time-varying thruster faults can be accurately identified.

Aiming at the problem of fault diagnosis in continuous time systems, a kind of fault diagnosis algorithm based on adaptive nonlinear proportional integral (PI) observer, which can realize the effective fault identification, is studied in this paper. Firstly, the stability and stability conditions of fault diagnosis method based on the PI observer are analyzed, and the upper bound of the fault estimation error is given. Secondly, the fault diagnosis algorithm based on adjustable nonlinear PI observer is designed and constructed, it is analyzed and we proved that the upper bound of fault estimation under this algorithm is better than that of the traditional method. Finally, the L-1011 unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is taken as the experimental object for numerical simulation, and the fault diagnosis method based on adaptive observer factor achieves faster response speed and more accurate fault identification results.

Fault-tolerant control is becoming an interesting topic because of its reliability and safety. This paper reports an active fault-tolerant control method for a quadcopter unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) to handle actuator faults, disturbances, and input constraints. A robust fault diagnosis based on the H ∞ scheme was designed to estimate the magnitude of a time-varying fault in the presence of disturbances with unknown upper bounds. Once the fault estimation was complete, a fault-tolerant control scheme was proposed for the attitude system, using adaptive sliding mode backstepping control to accommodate the actuator faults, despite actuator saturation limitation and disturbances. The Lyapunov theory was applied to prove the robustness and stability of the closed-loop system under faulty operation. Simulation results show the effectiveness of the fault diagnosis scheme and proposed controller for handling actuator faults.

The fault tolerant control problem for a DC motor system is investigated in a cloud environment. Packet dropout phenomenon introduced by the limited-capacity communication channel is considered. Actuator faults are taken into consideration and fault diagnosis and fault tolerant control methods towards actuator faults are proposed to enhance the reliability of the whole cloud-based DC motor system. The fault diagnosis unit is then established with purpose of obtaining fault information. When the actuator fault is detected by comparing the residual signal with a predefined threshold, a residual matching approach is utilized to locate the fault. The fault can be further estimated by a least-squares filter. Based on the fault estimation, a fault tolerant controller is designed to guarantee the stability as well as the control performance of the DC motor system. Simulation result on a DC motor system shows the efficiency of the fault tolerant control method proposed in this paper.

This article addresses the problem of estimating the position, velocity, and acceleration of a manoeuvring target from noisy position measurements. A discrete-time sliding mode observer is designed to handle unmeasured disturbance input and measurement noise. A first-order linear dynamics is considered for target acceleration. The acceleration input command and the pole of the first-order acceleration dynamics are considered to be unknown parameters with known upper bounds. A finite non-zero boundary layer is employed to reduce the chattering phenomenon typically associated with sliding mode observers. Analysis of estimation error dynamics is presented for the case where the discrete-time sliding mode observer is operating outside the boundary layer and also within the boundary layer. An algorithm is developed for obtaining the observer gain vector that guarantees the stability of the error dynamics. Numerical simulations and experimental results are presented to validate the stability and performance of the proposed observer.

The actual engineering control systems are nonlinear [1-2] and uncertainty [3-4] at the same time, so the robustness and fault diagnosis of systems are more meaningful [5-6]. Sometimes the system is with switching characteristics, which makes the study of switched systems more meaningful. As one of the nonlinear systems, switched systems exist in the practical systems widely, and the phenomenon of delay exists in industrial control nature, or in the life of people widely [7-8]. So the fault diagnosis research [11-12] of nonlinear switched systems with time-delay [9-10] has attracted the attention of many scholars. Motivated with the above issues, the general form of a class of switched systems with time-delay is described in detail, which also mentioned lemma 1 (Schur complement lemma) and lemma 2, the two lemmas will be applied to the proof process of the conclusion. The core part is observer design for time-delay systems fault, which puts forward the uniformly bounded stable condition of fault estimation error system expressed as the linear matrix inequality, and Lyapunov stability is applied to the strict proof. At last, the simulation of MATLAB in a numerical example proved the validity of the conclusion.

This paper presents a new robust inverse optimal control strategy for flexible spacecraft attitude maneuvers in the presence of external disturbances and actuator constraint. A new constrained attitude controller for flexible spacecraft is designed based on the Sontag-type formula and a control Lyapunov function. This control law optimizes a meaningful cost functional and the stability of the resulting closed-loop system is ensured by the Lyapunov framework. A sliding mode disturbance observer is used to compensate unknown bounded external disturbances. The ultimate boundedness of estimation error dynamics is guaranteed via a rigorous Lyapunov analysis. Simulation results are provided to demonstrate the performance of the proposed control law.

The paper addresses the state estimation problem for a general class of nonlinear systems. Using an expansion of nonlinear drift dynamics in terms of an aggregate model, the authors analyze the stability of the estimation error equation. Although the treatment is limited to linear feedback, the method results in quadratically stable error dynamics inside a large subset of the state space. The authors tested and verified the proposed approach on the nonlinear dynamics of the rotary pendulum.

This paper studies the problem of actuator fault estimation for a class of T-S fuzzy Markovian jumping systems, which is subject to mode-dependent interval time-varying delays and norm-bounded external disturbance. Based on the given fast adaptive estimation algorithm and by employing a novel Lyapunov–Krasovskii function candidate, a robust fault estimation scheme is proposed to estimate faults whose derivative is bounded. With this improved method, the proposed fault estimator minimizes the effect of disturbance on the estimation error and reduces the conservatism of systems stability results simultaneously. To be specific, an improved mode-dependent criterion for the existence of the fault estimation observer is established to guarantee the error dynamic system to be stochastically stable with a prescribed H ∞ performance and reduce the conservatism of designing procedure. Finally, three numerical examples are given to show the effectiveness of the proposed method.

This paper focuses on the stability problems of continuous linear systems with two additive time-varying delay components. Firstly, an effective and simple Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional (LKF) is established, which not only takes adequate information of delay components and their upper bounds into consideration but also establishes a simpler form to decrease the computational complexity. Secondly, an improved delay-dependent stability criterion together with its corollary is obtained by employing the generalized free-weighting-matrix-based (GFWM-based) inequality and some other techniques to calculate the derivative of the constructed LKF, which will further reduce the introduced estimation error and make the criteria less conservative. Lastly, a numerical example is presented to illustrate the less conservatism and lower computational complexity of the derived results.

This paper aims to construct a finite impulse response (FIR) based fault estimator for a class of linear discrete time-varying systems (LDTV) with multiplicative noise. Drawing support of intensive stochastic analyses and matrix manipulations, a novel performance index is proposed such that the fault estimation error is minimized in stochastic sense. A necessary and sufficient condition is established to guarantee the existence of the FIR-based fault estimator with satisfied estimation accuracy. The optimal gain of the desired fault estimator is calculated in an analytical way by minimizing the aforementioned performance index. Several examples are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed methods.
