Analog Control Circuit Designs for a Class of Continuous-Time Adaptive Fault-Tolerant Control Systems

This article is concerned with the robust adaptive fault-tolerant control (FTC) circuit designs for a class of continuous-time disturbed systems. A circuit realization method is investigated to convert the robust adaptive FTC control schemes into analog control circuits. An adaptive compensation control scheme against state-dependent and partially bounded actuator faults and disturbances is first developed to demonstrate the approach clearly, then its equivalent control circuits are implemented by using the circuit theory. Compared with simulation results achieved by MATLAB and professional circuit simulation software, the effectiveness of the proposed robust adaptive FTC circuits is validated by a rocket fairing system and a Chua's circuit system.
