Abstract

This paper presents an adaptive fault tolerant control (FTC) scheme for a class of multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) nonlinear systems against sensor faults, modeling errors and external disturbances. Four kinds of sensor faults including bias, drift, loss of accuracy and loss of effectiveness can be tolerated by the proposed FTC system. Within this scheme, dynamic surface control (DSC) technique, robust adaptation laws and adaptive nonlinear filters are combined for designing an adaptive dynamic surface control (ADSC)-based FTC system in order to compensate for the effects of sensor faults and system uncertainties (including external disturbances, modeling errors and unexpected nonlinear functions caused by sensor faults). Lyapunov approach is used to prove that all the signals in the closed-loop system are bounded and the tracking-errors can be forced to converge into a small neighborhood of zero. The feasibility and the effectiveness of the proposed FTC controller are demonstrated through two simulation examples.
