This study investigates the flight longitudinal tracking control problem of hypersonic vehicle in presence of the input saturation, external disturbances, model parametric uncertainties, and actuator faults. First, the velocity and altitude subsystem are established with disturbances based on the feedback linearization model. Second, two robust anti-saturation fault-tolerant controllers are designed for the velocity subsystem and altitude subsystem by the utilization of the tangent function, Nussbaum function, and adaptive nonlinear filter. Finally, Lyapunov stability theory is used to prove that the states of the closed-loop system are bounded. And, the effectiveness and robustness of the control strategy are proved by numerical simulations.

This study investigates the course-tracking problem for the unmanned surface vehicle in the presence of constraints of the actuator faults, control gain uncertainties, and environmental disturbance. A novel event-triggered robust neural control algorithm is proposed by fusing the robust neural damping technique and the event-triggered input mechanism. In the algorithm, no prior information of the system model about the unknown yawing dynamic parameters and unknown external disturbances is required. The transmission burden between the controller and the actuator could be relieved. Moreover, the control gain-related uncertainties and the unknown actuator faults are compensated through two updated online adaptive parameters. Sufficient effort has been made to verify the semi-global uniform ultimate bounded stability for the closed-loop system based on Lyapunov stability theory. Finally, simulation results are presented to illustrate the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed algorithm.

This paper investigates the design of spacecraft attitude stabilization controllers that are robust against actuator faults and external disturbances. A nominal controller is developed initially, using the adaptive backstepping technique, to stabilize asymptotically the spacecraft attitude when the actuators are fault-free. Additive faults and the partial loss of actuator effectiveness are considered simultaneously and an auxiliary controller is designed in addition to the nominal controller to compensate for the system faults. This auxiliary controller does not use any fault detection and isolation mechanism to detect, separate, and identify the actuator faults online. The attitude orientation and angular velocity of the closed-loop system asymptotically converge to zero despite actuator faults providing the nominal attitude system is asymptotically stable. Numerical simulation results are presented that demonstrate the closed-loop performance benefits of the proposed control law and illustrate its robustness to external disturbances and actuator faults.

This article focuses on the design of event-triggered asynchronous [Formula: see text] fault-tolerant controller for Markov jump system subject to actuator faults and external disturbances. The asynchronization phenomenon not only occurs between the controlled system and controller but also exists between the controlled system and faulty actuator, which are portrayed as two corresponding hidden Markov models. Moreover, a mode-dependent event-triggered mechanism is introduced to facilitate network resources utilization. Then, by introducing mode-dependent Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional, a sufficient condition is obtained to guarantee that the closed-loop system is randomly mean square stable with [Formula: see text] performance. Finally, two numerical examples are employed to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed synthesis scheme.

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.

This article studies the uniformly ultimately bounded output tracking problem of uncertain nonlinear sandwich systems with sandwiched dead-zone nonlinearity in the presence of some practical constraints such as nonsymmetric input saturation, model uncertainties, time-varying external disturbances, and unknown parameters. Due to the existence of both dead-zone and saturation nonlinearities, the design process is more complicated; therefore, to solve the design complexities, the designing process is divided into two phases. The proposed method leads to output tracking with acceptable accuracy. Moreover, all signals in the closed-loop system are ultimately bounded. Simulation results illustrate the applicability and effectiveness of the proposed method by its application on two practical sandwich systems (robotic system and electrohydraulic servo press system).

This paper investigates the application of an integral sliding mode control with a robust nonlinear disturbance observer to obtain an anti-unwinding spacecraft attitude tracking response with robustness against external disturbances, inertia matrix uncertainties, and actuator faults. In the controller design, external disturbances, uncertainties, and actuator faults are lumped together and estimated by the robust nonlinear disturbance observer. The proposed robust nonlinear disturbance observer guarantees the convergence of estimated lumped disturbance error to origin in finite time. The estimated disturbance is then used in the controller as a feed-forward compensator. Further, an adaptive law is also incorporated in the proposed controller to ensure additional robustness. The stability of the overall system and anti-unwinding characteristic are proved using the Lyapunov stability theory. Finally, numerical simulation analysis is performed in the presence of all the sources of lumped disturbances. It is observed that the proposed control strategy is ensuring higher accuracy, good steady-state precision, and eliminates the unwinding phenomenon.

This paper investigates the three-dimensional guidance with the impact angle constraint, actuator faults and input constraint. Firstly, an adaptive three-dimensional guidance law with impact angle constraint is designed by using the terminal sliding mode control and nonhomogeneous disturbance observer. Then, in order to solve the problem of the input saturation and actuator faults, an adaptive anti-saturation fault-tolerant three-dimensional law is proposed by using the hyperbolic tangent function based on the passive fault-tolerant control. Finally, the effectiveness of the designed guidance laws is verified by using the Lyapunov function and simulation.

In this paper, an adaptive robust fault-tolerant control scheme is developed for attitude tracking control of a medium-scale unmanned autonomous helicopter with rotor flapping dynamics, external unknown disturbances and actuator faults. For the convenience of control design, the actuator dynamics with respect to the tail rotor are introduced. The adaptive fault observer and robust item are employed to observe the actuator faults and eliminate the effect of external disturbances, respectively. A backstepping-based robust fault-tolerant control scheme is designed with the aim of obtaining satisfactory tracking performance and closed-loop system stability is proved via Lyapunov analysis, which guarantees the convergence of all closed-loop system signals. Simulation results are given to show the effectiveness of the proposed control method.
