Abstract The paper deals with the problem of designing sensor-fault tolerant control for a class of non-linear systems. The scheme is composed of a robust state and fault estimator as well as a controller. The estimator aims at recovering the real system state irrespective of sensor faults. Subsequently, the fault-free state is used for control purposes. Also, the robust sensor fault estimator is developed in a such a way that a level of disturbances attenuation can be reached pertaining to the fault estimation error. Fault-tolerant control is designed using similar criteria. Moreover, a separation principle is proposed, which makes it possible to design the fault estimator and control separately. The final part of the paper is devoted to the comprehensive experimental study related to the application of the proposed approach to a non-linear twin-rotor system, which clearly exhibits the performance of the new strategy.

ABSTRACTThis paper introduces an observer strategy, namely a Sliding Mode Observer (SMO), to realise the fault detection and estimation of general uncertain non-linear systems. The use of a non-linear observer is considered for monitoring the states of a high incidence research model (HIRM) aircraft system. For a special class of Lipschitz non-linear system, a fault reconstruction scheme is presented where the reconstructed signal can approximate the fault signal to any accuracy. The proposed method is based only on the available plant input-output information and can be calculated online. Moreover, the globally asymptotic stability of the closed-loop system is mathematically proved. Finally, an HIRM aircraft system example is given to illustrate the efficiency of the proposed approach.
