A robust fault tolerant control (FTC) approach is addressed for a class of nonlinear systems with time delay, actuator faults, and multiple disturbances. The first part of the multiple disturbances is supposed to be an uncertain modeled disturbance and the second one represents a norm-bounded variable. First, a composite observer is designed to estimate the uncertain modeled disturbance and actuator fault simultaneously. Then, an FTC strategy consisting of disturbance observer based control (DOBC), fault accommodation, and a mixedH2/H∞controller is constructed to reconfigure the considered systems with disturbance rejection and attenuation performance. Finally, simulations for a flight control system are given to show the efficiency of the proposed approach.

This paper is concerned with disturbance-observer-based control (DOBC) for a class of time-delay systems with uncertain sinusoidal disturbances. The disturbances are decomposed as precise and uncertain parts using nonlinear disturbance observer (DO) after appropriate coordinate transformation. And then the two parts can be compensated by corresponding controller, respectively, such that the classic DOBC method is extended to uncertain disturbance rejection. One novel feature of the proposed method is that even if the precise disturbance parameters are inaccessible, the merits of DOBC can be inherited. By integrating the disturbance observers with feedback control laws with time delay, the disturbances can be rejected and the desired dynamic performances can be guaranteed. Finally, simulations for a flight control system are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the results.

Purpose Fault detection, isolation and reconfiguration of the flight control system is an important problem to obtain healthy flight. This paper aims to propose an integrated approach for aircraft fault-tolerant control. Design/methodology/approach The integrated structure includes a Kalman filter to obtain without noise, a full order observer for sensor fault detection, a GOS (generalized observer scheme) for sensor fault isolation and a fuzzy controller to reconfigure of the healthy sensor. This combination is simulated using the state space model of a lateral flight control system in case of disturbance and under sensor fault scenario. Findings Using a dedicated observer scheme, the detection and time of sensor fault are correct, but the sensor fault isolation is evaluated incorrectly while the faulty sensor is isolated correctly using GOS. The simulation results show that the suggested approach works affectively for sensor faults with disturbance. Originality/value This paper proposes an integrated approach for aircraft fault-tolerant control. Under this framework, three units are designed, one is Kalman filter for filtering and the other is GOS for sensor fault isolation and another is fuzzy logic for reconfiguration. An integrated approach is sensitive to faults that have disturbances. The simulation results show the proposed integrated approach can be used for any linear system.
