Fault-tolerant adaptive event-triggered integral sliding mode control for uncertain networked systems under actuator failures

Abstract

This paper investigates the design of fault-tolerant adaptive event-triggered integral sliding mode control (FTAETISMC) for a class of uncertain systems in the presence of partial actuator failures. The proposed control scheme guarantees the closed-loop system to operate properly in case of partial actuator failures and ensures the reachability of the sliding mode surface. In order to reduce the consumption of system resources, an adaptive event-triggered (ET) mechanism is introduced, where the threshold is based on a function of a non-negative adaptive parameter. By choosing the parameter of the integral sliding mode manifold, the asymptotic stability of the system can be achieved. To ensure that the system does not suffer from Zeno phenomenon, there exists a positive lower bound of the inter-event time. Finally, simulation results of a numerical example are presented to prove the benefits of the proposed method.
