Abstract
This paper presents comparative studies for various sensor faults and noise effects on the performance of several recently proposed semi-active control algorithms for the control of large-scale magnetorheological dampers. Sensor faults or noises due to various environmental factors and long-term deteriorations may cause degradations in the performance of the control system. In this paper, the authors have carried out an in-depth literature review of the sensor fault or malfunction and noise problems, diagnostic methods and compensation approaches applicable to semi-active control algorithms. For three recently developed semi-active controllers, namely clipped optimal control, decentralized output feedback polynomial control and Lyapunov controller, an extensive study has been carried out on the robustness of these controllers during sensor faults and noise effects. Based on this research, a new real-time qualitative model-based sensor fault detection and diagnosis (RMSFDD) method has been proposed. This novel RMSFDD method shows a good performance during diverse sensor fault types in semi-active control with a real-time application without any training and heavy computational cost.
