In this paper, a fault-tolerant control system based on back-stepping integral sliding mode controller (BISMC) is designed and analyzed for both nonlinear translational and rotational subsystems of the quadrotor unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). The novelty of this paper is about combination of a classic controller with a repetitive algorithm to reduce the response time to actuator faults and have better tracking performance. The actuator fault is defined based on the loss of effectiveness and bias fault. Next, the iterative learning control algorithm (ILCA) is used to compensate for the unknown fault input according to previous recorded experiences. In the normal condition (without actuators fault), BISMC can force the actual trajectories toward the desired commands and reduce chattering about control signals, and in the presence of the actuators fault or external disturbances, the mentioned learning algorithm can incline the accuracy of the tracking performance and compensate for the occurred error. The Lyapunov theory illustrates that the proposed control strategy can stabilize the system despite the actuators’ fault and external disturbances. The simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed scheme in comparison with another method.

In this paper, fault-tolerant attitude tracking control problem is investigated for multiple spacecraft formation flying system with external disturbance, actuator saturation, and faults. A quaternion-based adaptive fault-tolerant control law is proposed based on input normalized neural network. The desired nonlinear smooth function is approximated by using input normalized neural network with an adaptive learning algorithm, and no prior knowledge about spacecraft dynamics is required. Meanwhile, in order to guarantee that the output of input normalized neural network used in the controller is bounded by the corresponding bound of the approximated unknown function, a modified adaptive law is designed to revise the sliding mode manifold. Moreover, the stability of system can be guaranteed by Lyapunov theory. Finally, the validity of the proposed control algorithm is verified through numerical simulations.

The paper describes the design of a fault-tolerant control scheme for an uncertain model of a hypersonic reentry vehicle subject to actuator faults. In order to improve superior transient performances for state tracking, the proposed method relies on a back-stepping sliding mode controller combined with an adaptive disturbance observer and a reference vector generator. This structure allows for a faster response and reduces the overshoots compared to linear conventional disturbance observers based sliding mode controller. Robust stability and performance guarantees of the overall closed-loop system are obtained using Lyapunov theory. Finally, numerical simulations results illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed technique.

The research about the dissimilar redundant actuation system has indicated the potential fault-tolerant capability in modern aircraft. This paper proposed a new design methodology to achieve fault-tolerant control of an aircraft equipped with dissimilar actuators and is suffered from vertical tail damage. The proposed design is based on the concept of online control allocation to redistribute the control signals among healthy actuators and integral sliding mode controller is designed to achieve the closed-loop stability in the presence of both component and actuator faults. To cope with severe damage condition, the aircraft is equipped with dissimilar actuators (hydraulic and electrohydraulic actuators). In this paper, the performance degradation due to slower dynamics of electrohydraulic actuator is taken in account. Therefore, the feed-forward compensator is designed for electrohydraulic actuator based on fractional-order control strategy. In case of failure of hydraulic actuator subject to severe damage of vertical tail, an active switching mechanism is developed based on the information of fault estimation unit. Additionally, a severe type of actuator failure so-called actuator saturation or actuator lock in place is also taken into account in this work. The proposed strategy is compared with the existing control strategies in the literature. Simulation results indicate the dominant performance of the proposed scheme. Moreover, the proposed controller is found robust with a certain level of mismatch between the actuator effectiveness level and its estimate.

In modern aircraft, the dissimilar redundant actuation system is used to resolve the actuator failure issues due to the common cause, thus increasing the system reliability. This paper proposes an adaptive integral sliding mode fault tolerant control strategy to deal with actuator fault/failure in the dissimilar redundant actuation system of civil aircraft. To cope with the unknown actuator faults, the adaptive integral sliding mode controller is designed where the modulation gain is made adaptive to the fault. To deal with the complete failure of certain actuator, the integral sliding mode control is integrated with control allocation scheme and distribute the control input signals to the redundant actuators. The performance of the proposed scheme is tested on the nonlinear model of dissimilar redundant actuation system, where the effect of external airload is accounted during simulations. The effectiveness of the proposed scheme is validated by comparing the simulations with the existing literature.

Active Fault Tolerant Control

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.
