This article concerns the problem of stability analysis of nonlinear systems under the sampled-data control (SDC) with actuator faults. The addressed nonlinear systems can be expressed by a number of linear arrangements, based on the Takagi–Sugeno (T–S) fuzzy technique. The time-dependent SDC with actuator faults of the addressed nonlinear systems delineates based on the input model of Markovian variability. The time-scheduled Lyapunov functional and the looped-functional are taken together in the production of a Lyapunov functional candidate. Based on a free matrix-based integral inequality and the Lyapunov functional, some sufficient linear matrix inequality conditions are delivered to guarantee the mean-square asymptotic stability under <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"><tex-math notation="LaTeX">$H_\infty$</tex-math></inline-formula> performance of the considered sampled-data T–S fuzzy systems with actuator faults. Finally, we demonstrate the feasibility and strength of our proposed method through some examples.
