We address a fault tolerant control (FTC) issue about an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) under possible simultaneous actuator saturation and faults occurrence. Firstly, the Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy models representing nonlinear flight control systems (FCS) for an UAV with unknown disturbances and actuator saturation are established. Then, a normal H-infinity tracking controller is presented using an online estimator, which is introduced to weaken the saturation effect. Based on the normal tracking controller, we propose an adaptive fault tolerant tracking controller (FTTC) to solve actuator loss of effectiveness (LOE) fault problem. Compared with previous work, this approach developed in our research need not rely on any fault diagnosis unit and is easily applied in engineering. Finally, these results in simulation indicate the efficiency of our presented FTC scheme.

Takagi Sugeno

In this paper, a new design approach to construct a fault-tolerant controller (FTC) with fault estimation capability is proposed using a generalized Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy model for a class of nonlinear systems in the presence of actuator faults and unknown disturbances. The generalized T-S fuzzy model consists of some local models with multiplicative nonlinear terms that satisfy Lipschitz condition. Besides covering a very wide range of nonlinear systems with a smaller number of local rules in comparison with the conventional T-S fuzzy model and hence having less computational burden, the existence of the multiplicative nonlinear term solves the uncontrollability issues that the other generalized T-S fuzzy models with additive nonlinear terms dealt with. A state/fault observer designed for the considered generalized T-S fuzzy model and then, a dynamic FTC law based on the estimated fault information is proposed and sufficient design conditions are given in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). It can be shown that the number of LMIs are less than that of previously proposed methods and then feasibility of our method is more likely. The effectiveness of the proposed FTC approach is verified using a nonlinear mass-spring-damper system.

This paper deals with a methodical design approach of fault-tolerant controller that gives assurance for the the stabilization and acceptable control performance of the nonlinear systems which can be described by Takagi–Sugeno (T–S) fuzzy models. Takagi–Sugeno fuzzy model gives a unique edge that allows us to apply the traditional linear system theory for the investigation and blend of nonlinear systems by linear models in a different state space region. The overall fuzzy model of the nonlinear system is obtained by fuzzy combination of the all linear models. After that, based on this linear model, we employ parallel distributed compensation for designing linear controllers for each linear model. Also this paper reports of the T–S fuzzy system with less conservative stabilization condition which gives decent performance. However, the controller synthesis for nonlinear systems described by the T–S fuzzy model is a complicated task, which can be reduced to convex problems linking with linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). Further sufficient conservative stabilization conditions are represented by a set of LMIs for the Takagi–Sugeno fuzzy control systems, which can be solved by using MATLAB software. Two-rule T–S fuzzy model is used to describe the nonlinear system and this system demonstrated with proposed fault-tolerant control scheme. The proposed fault-tolerant controller implemented and validated on three interconnected conical tank system with two constraints in terms of faults, one issed to build the actuator and sond is system component (leak) respectively. The MATLAB Simulink platform with linear fuzzy models and an LMI Toolbox was used to solve the LMIs and determine the controller gains subject to the proposed design approach.

Special Case

This paper presents a novel fault-tolerant control strategy to compensate the time-varying loss of actuators’ effectiveness. It considers intermediate situations where the fault is not determined precisely (unlike active approaches) but overall estimations about its rate and final value are available through the previous experiences and/or experiments. Based on the estimations, two upper and lower time-varying bounds on the actuators’ effectiveness are established to be exploited in the procedure of controller design. In a special case, where these bounds are constant, the method will be reduced to the conventional passive approach. Also, actuator saturation and the effects of [Formula: see text] disturbances are considered in the research. To tackle the conflict between attenuating the effect of L∞ disturbances and enlarging the domain of attraction, a linear matrix inequality optimization framework is suggested. The proposed method is implemented on a model of an unmanned aerial vehicle and the results are discussed.

In many practical systems, stochastic behaviors usually occur and need to be considered in the controller design. To ensure the system performance under the effect of stochastic behaviors, the controller may become bigger even beyond the capacity of practical applications. Therefore, the actuator saturation problem also must be considered in the controller design. The type-2 Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy model can describe the parameter uncertainties more completely than the type-1 T-S fuzzy model for a class of nonlinear systems. A fuzzy controller design method is proposed in this paper based on the Interval Type-2 (IT2) T-S fuzzy model for stochastic nonlinear systems subject to actuator saturation. The stability analysis and some corresponding sufficient conditions for the IT2 T-S fuzzy model are developed using Lyapunov theory. Via transferring the stability and control problem into Linear Matrix Inequality (LMI) problem, the proposed fuzzy control problem can be solved by the convex optimization algorithm. Finally, a nonlinear ship steering system is considered in the simulations to verify the feasibility and efficiency of the proposed fuzzy controller design method.

Stable Control

Although the Takagi–Sugeno fuzzy model is effective for representing the dynamics of a plant to be controlled, two main questions arise when using it just as other models: 1) how to deal with the gap, which is referred to as uncertainty in this study, between the model and the concerned plant, and how to estimate the state information when it cannot be obtained directly, especially with the existence of uncertainty; 2) how to design a controller that guarantees a stable control system where only the estimated state is available and an uncertainty exists. While the existing studies cannot effectively observe the state and the resulting control systems can only be managed to be uniformly stable, this study first presents a state observer capable of precisely estimating the state regardless of the existence of uncertainty. Then, based on the state observer, an uncertainty observer is derived, which can track the trajectory of uncertainty whenever it occurs in a real system. Finally, a controller based on both observers is presented, which guarantees the asymptotic stability of the resulting control system.

Takagi Sugeno

In this work, we investigate the problem of control for nonlinear systems represented by Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy models affected by both sensor and actuator faults subject to an unknown bounded disturbances (UBD). For this, we design an adaptive observer to estimate state, sensor and actuator fault vectors simultaneously despite the presence of external disturbances. Based on this observer, we develop a fault tolerant control (FTC) law not only to stabilize closed loop system, but also to compensate the fault effects. For the observer-based controller design, we propose less conservative conditions formulated in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). Moreover, both observer and controller gains are calculated via solving a set of LMIs only in single step. Finally, comparative results and an application to single-link flexible joint robot are afforded to prove the efficiency of the proposed design.
