This paper explores the fault-tolerant control problem for uncertain impulsive singular linear time-variant (LTV) systems in the presence of bounded-power or L∞ disturbances. Here, a saturation avoidance mechanism is employed to prevent faulty actuators from overloading. Also, the conflict between attenuating the effect of L∞ disturbances and enlarging the domain of attraction is tackled by proposing a nonconstant state feedback controller. In addition, the proposed method is capable of tolerating time-varying faults. The suggested method is implemented on a mechanical viscoelastic model of cortical bone with impulsive and time-varying nature to evaluate its competency.

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.

Performance evaluation based fault tolerant control with actuator saturation avoidanceIn this paper, a new approach regarding a reconfigured system is proposed to improve the performance of an active fault tolerant control system. The system performance is evaluated with an intelligent index of performance. The reconfiguration mechanism is based on a model predictive controller and reference trajectory management techniques. When an actuator fault occurs in the system, a new degraded reference trajectory is generated and the controller calculates new admissible controls. A constraint set and cost function are established to avoid actuator saturation and reduce the control energy spent in closed loop dynamics. The effectiveness of the proposed method is illustrated using a hydrothermal system subject to actuator faults and constraints on actuator dynamic ranges.

The Stability

In this paper, a new fault tolerant control scheme with control allocation is presented. The pseudo-inverse along the null-space control allocation is applied to the fault tolerant control system to handle the actuator constraints. The stability of the overall closed-loop system is proved via the small gain theory. The null-space vector is viewed as uncertainty, and is disposed by an integral sliding mode controller and a robust controller. The simulation results show that the new method can solve both failure scenarios and actuator saturation problems well.
