To suppress airfoil flutter, a lot of control methods have been proposed, such as classical control methods and optimal control methods. However, these methods did not consider the influence of actuator faults and control delay. This paper proposes a new finite-time H∞ adaptive fault-tolerant flutter controller by radial basis function neural network technology and adaptive fault-tolerant control method, taking into account actuator faults, control delay, modeling uncertainties, and external disturbances. The theoretic section of this paper is about airfoil flutter dynamic modeling and adaptive fault-tolerant controller design. Lyapunov function and linear matrix inequality are employed to prove the stability of the proposed control method of this paper. The numeral simulation section further proves the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed control algorithm of this paper.

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.

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.

In this paper, related researches and analyses are conducted for the tracking problem of the hypersonic vehicle subject to external disturbances, actuator faults, and input saturation. Firstly, to achieve automatic adjustment of control gains and deal with the impact of dynamic failures of system without requiring prior knowledge of the fault, a new modified fast nonsingular terminal sliding manifold is proposed, and a fast adaptive finite time fault-tolerant controller is provided combining the adaptive control method and terminal sliding mode. Then, a fast adaptive finite time anti-saturation fault-tolerant controller is presented to further solve the problem of input saturation, under which both of the velocity and altitude can track respective reference signal with the actuator input constraint. Finally, the closed-loop stability under the proposed two adaptive fault-tolerant control schemes is analyzed, and numerical simulations of longitudinal model of the hypersonic vehicle are demonstrated to further confirm the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

The QiTai Radio Telescope (QTT) will be equipped with the active surface adjustment system (ASAS) to correct the main reflector deformation caused by environmental loading. In order to guarantee the stability and performance of the active surface system under fault conditions, it is necessary to adopt the fault-tolerant method when actuator faults have occurred. In this paper, a fault control method based on actuator faults weighting is proposed to solve the active surface fault control problem. According to the coordinates of the adjustable points of the panels corresponding to the faulty actuators, a new paraboloid is fitted by a weighted health matrix, and the fitting surface is taken as the target to adjust the surface shape.

This paper is concerned with the variance-constrained controller design problem for a class of uncertain nonlinear stochastic systems with possible actuator faults. The stochastic nonlinearities described by statistical means are quite general that include several well-studied classes of nonlinearities as special cases. A model of actuator failures is adopted, which is more practical than the traditional outage one. A linear matrix inequality (LMI) approach is proposed to solve the multiobjective fault-tolerant controller design problem, where both the exponential stability and the steady-state state variance indices are simultaneously guaranteed. Within the developed LMI framework, a sufficient condition for the solvability of the robust control problem is obtained. The explicit expression of the desired controllers is also parameterized and a single degree-of-freedom model is used to demonstrate the effectiveness and applicability of the proposed design approach.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to present fault tolerant control of a quadrotor based on the enhanced proportional integral derivative (PID) structure in the presence of one or more actuator faults. Design/methodology/approach Mathematical model of the quadrotor is derived by parameter identification of the system for the simulation of the UAV dynamics and flight control in MATLAB/Simulink. An improved PID structure is used to provide the stability of the nonlinear quadcopter system both for attitude and path control of the system. The results of the healty system and the faulty system are given in simulations, together with motor dynamics. Findings In this study, actuator faults are considered to show that a robust controller design handles the loss of effectiveness in motors up to some extent. For the loss of control effectiveness of 20 per cent in first and third motors, psi state follows the reference with steady state error, and it does not go unstable. Motor 1 and Motor 3 respond to given motor fault quickly. When it comes to one actuator fault, steady state errors remain in some states, but the system does not become unstable. Originality/value In this paper, an enhanced PID controller is proposed to keep the quadrotor stable in case of actuator faults. Proposed method demonstrates the effectiveness of the control system against motor faults.

This article mainly studies the Mittag–Leffler stability and finite-time control of a time-delay fractional-order hydraulic turbine governing system. First, properties of the Riemann–Liouville derivative and some important lemmas are introduced. Second, considering the mechanical time delay of the main servomotor, the mathematical model of a fractional-order hydraulic turbine governing system with mechanical time delay is presented. Then, based on Mittag–Leffler stability theorem, a suitable sliding surface and finite-time controller are designed for the hydraulic turbine governing system. The system stability is confirmed, and the stability condition is given in the form of linear matrix inequalities. Finally, the traditional proportional–integral–derivative control method and an existing sliding mode control method are selected to verify the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed method. This study also provides a new approach for the stability analysis of the time-delay fractional-order hydraulic turbine governing system.

This paper proposes a U-model-based fault-tolerant controller design method in order to ensure the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) flight performance when subject to the actuator failures. Depending on the decoupled quadrotor model, this paper presents a sliding mode control method based on U-model in detail and realizes fault-tolerant control for the quadrotor UAV with the stability theory and simulation experiment verifications. The results show that the new controller designed by using the U-model method can simplify the controller design process which has good fault-tolerant characteristics when actuator faults occur compared with the traditional method.

This paper deals with the problem of induction motor tracking control against actuator faults and external disturbances using the linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) method and the adaptive method. A direct adaptive fault-tolerant tracking controller design method is developed based on Lyapunov stability theory and a constructive algorithm based on linear matrix inequalities for online tuning of adaptive and state feedback gains to stabilize the closed-loop system in order to reduce the fault effect with disturbance attenuation. Simulation results reveal the merits of proposed robust adaptive fault-tolerant tracking control scheme on an induction motor subjected to actuator faults.

This paper investigates the observer-based fuzzy controller design method for nonlinear discrete-time singular systems that are represented by Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy models. At first, the nonlinearity can be well-approximated with several local linear input-output relationships. The parallel distributed compensation (PDC) technology and the proportional derivative (PD) feedback scheme are then employed to construct the observer-based fuzzy controller. To solve the problem of unmeasured states, the impulsive phenomenon of singular systems, and the PD scheme’s reasonableness, a novel observer-based fuzzy controller is developed. By using the Lyapunov theory and projection lemma, the stability criteria are built in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMI). Moreover, the gains of fuzzy controller and fuzzy observer can be calculated synchronously by using convex optimization algorithms. Finally, a biological economic system is provided to verify the effectiveness of the proposed fuzzy control method.
