This paper investigates the bumpless transfer problem of switched linear systems with sensor faults. The framework of the switched control systems includes two kinds of controllers, one is for normal use and the other is for fault-tolerant control when sensor faults have occurred. Considering that the information of the sensor faults is unknown to the controller, an observer is designed for the fault-tolerant controller. Moreover, in view of the issue that the output difference between the online and offline controllers may induce undesired oscillations in control input at the switching instant, a bumpless transfer compensator is presented based on sliding mode control. Due to the reasonably designed compensator, the difference can be minimized to a small value to guarantee smooth transitions of the control input when sensor faults have occurred. Finally, numerical simulations verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.

This paper proposes fault-tolerant control design for uncertain nonlinear systems described under Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy systems with local nonlinear models that satisfy the Lipschitz condition. First, by transforming sensor faults as ‘pseudo-actuator’ faults, an adaptive sliding mode observer is designed in order to simultaneously estimate system states, actuator and sensor faults despite the presence of norm-bounded uncertainties. Second, an adaptive sliding mode controller is suggested to provide a solution to stabilize the closed-loop system, even in the event of simultaneous occurrence of faults in actuators and sensors. Next, the main objective of the fault-tolerant control strategy is to compensate for the effects of fault based on the feedback information. Therefore, using the LMI optimization method, sufficient conditions are developed with [Formula: see text] to calculate the gains of the observer and the controller. Then, particular attention is paid to the simultaneous maximization, by convex multi-objective optimization, of the Lipschitz nonlinear constant in Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy modelling and uncertainties attenuation level. The results of the simulation illustrate the effectiveness of our fault-tolerant control approach using a nonlinear inverted pendulum with a cart system.

Electro-hydraulic actuators (EHAs) have been widely used in modern industries. However, sensor faults and actuator faults in EHA systems can arise due to aging during operation, making the system unstable and unsafe. To solve these issues, fault-tolerant control (FTC) techniques for EHA systems have been studied intensively. In this paper, an FTC is proposed and developed for the mini motion package (MMP) EHA system. First, a mathematical model of the MMP system is formulated and improved to provide position tracking control using a well-known proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller. Second, an unknown input observer (UIO) reconstruction is performed to estimate the states, disturbances, and sensor faults so that an asymptotically stable control error can be obtained by a linear matrix inequality (LMI) optimization algorithm through Lyapunov’s stability condition. Third, the FTC designed for the nonlinear discrete-time system is formed from fault compensation based on a residual logic signal to implement the fault compensation process and ensure stability and tracking performance with respect to minimizing impacts of disturbances and sensor faults. Here, residual is defined by the difference between state response and state estimation. Finally, numerical simulations and experiments of the MMP system are presented to illustrate the efficiency of the proposed FTC technique.
