Area Of Science

  • Control Systems Engineering
  • Fault-Tolerant Control
  • System Dynamics

Background

  • High-order fully actuated systems (HOFASs) are susceptible to actuator faults, sensor faults, and measurement noise.
  • Existing fault-tolerant control (FTC) methods may have limitations in noise suppression and fault compensation accuracy.

Purpose Of The Study

  • To develop and evaluate two novel FTC frameworks for HOFASs.
  • To address actuator faults, sensor faults, and measurement noise simultaneously.
  • To improve the performance and robustness of control systems.

Main Methods

  • Analysis of observable architectures for fault detection and isolation.
  • Compensation of actuator faults using fusion observers.
  • Rejection of sensor faults via redundant observability.
  • Application of a dead-zone fusion observation strategy for noise suppression.

Main Results

  • The first FTC framework achieves ultimately uniformly bounded (UUB) error systems.
  • The redesigned FTC framework with dead-zone fusion observation demonstrates superior noise suppression, particularly in linear HOFAS models.
  • Experimental validation confirms improved trajectory tracking and noise suppression capabilities.

Conclusions

  • The proposed FTC frameworks offer effective solutions for fault tolerance in HOFASs.
  • The novel FTC redesign significantly enhances measurement noise suppression.
  • The developed methods provide robust control performance in the presence of various system uncertainties.

Proportional-Derivative (PD) control is a widely used control method in various engineering systems to enhance stability and performance. In a system with only proportional control, common issues include high maximum overshoot and oscillation, observed in both the error signal and its rate of change. This behavior can be divided into three distinct phases: initial overshoot, subsequent undershoot, and gradual stabilization.
Consider the example of control of motor torque. Initially, a positive...

Feedback control systems are categorized in various ways based on their design, analysis, and signal types.
Linear feedback systems are theoretical models that simplify analysis and design. These systems operate under the principle that their output is directly proportional to their input within certain ranges. For instance, an amplifier in a control system behaves linearly as long as the input signal remains within a specific range. However, most physical systems exhibit inherent nonlinearity...
