Abstract
In this study, the problem of observer-based adaptive sliding mode control is discussed for nonlinear systems with sensor and actuator faults. The time-varying actuator degradation factor and external disturbance are considered in the system simultaneously. In this study, the original system is described as a new normal system by combining the state vector, sensor faults, and external disturbance into a new state vector. For the augmented system, a new sliding mode observer is designed, where a discontinuous term is introduced such that the effects of sensor and actuator faults and external disturbance will be eliminated. In addition, based on a tricky design of the observer, the time-varying actuator degradation factor term is developed in the error system. On the basis of the state estimation, an integral-type adaptive fuzzy sliding mode controller is constructed to ensure the stability of the closed-loop system. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed control methods can be illustrated with a numerical example.
Highlights
In industrial processes, actuator and/or sensor always occur with various components faults due to unexpected physical constraints and reasons [1,2,3,4]
In order to maintain the reliability of the overall control systems, fault detection and isolation (FDI) and fault-tolerant control (FTC) have received increasing research attention during the past decade [5,6,7,8]
Compared to the traditional methods in [39], Assumption 2 will relax the restriction that the norm bound of the external disturbance, stuck actuator fault, and bias sensor fault, which will be applicable to a larger class of practical systems
Summary
Actuator and/or sensor always occur with various components faults due to unexpected physical constraints and reasons [1,2,3,4]. In [29], a fault estimation SMO was developed for mismatched nonlinear systems with unknown disturbances, where an adaptive law was designed to update the sliding mode gain online. In [36], an optimization problem based on non-negative constraints was defined for time-varying delay systems, to obtain sliding mode surface parameters and simplify the stability analysis process. We aimed to research the fault estimation and FTC design problem for the continuous-time nonlinear system, where sensor fault, external disturbance, time-varying multiplicative actuator faults, and unknown nonlinearity are considered simultaneously in a unified framework. Based on the state estimation of the SMO, an adaptive integraltype sliding control law is designed to ensure the asymptotic stability of the overall fault control systems, where an adaptive fuzzy updating law is involved with the controller gain to approximate the unknown nonlinearity of the plant.
