Abstract
Effectively compensating unknown intermittent actuator faults in uncertain decentralized nonlinear systems is a very difficult problem, and very few results have been obtained. In this article, to address this issue, an adaptive neural output feedback compensation control scheme based on command-filtered backstepping is developed. First, we design a bank of observers to estimate the system states and utilize neural networks with random hidden nodes to approximate the unknown functions of these observers. Second, a smooth projection algorithm is used to online update estimated parameters in the controllers such that the possible ceaseless increase in the estimated parameters caused by intermittent actuator faults can be eliminated. Due to the presence of intermittent jumps of unknown parameters, a modified Lyapunov function is developed to analyze the system stability. It is proved that the boundedness of all closed-loop system signals is ensured and the ultimate bound of the tracking error depends on design parameters, adjustable jumping amplitude of Lyapunov function, and minimum fault time interval. Third, by analyzing the system transient performance, the peaking phenomenon at the starting instant of the system operation can be removed, and a root mean square type of bound is established to illustrate that the transient tracking error performance is tunable by design parameters. Finally, simulations studies are done to illustrate the effectiveness of the theoretical results.
