This article presents novel robust adaptive fault tolerant control strategies for the class of nonlinear Lipschitz systems in the presence of bounded matched or unmatched disturbances and actuator faults (failure, loss of effectiveness, and stuck). Two constructive algorithms, based on linear matrix inequalities with creatively using Lyapunov stability theory, are developed for online tuning of adaptive and fixed state feedback gains to stabilize the closed-loop control system asymptotically, to compensate actuator faults, and to attenuate disturbance effects. The resultant control schemes have simpler and constructive structures as compared with most existing methods. The merits of the proposed schemes have been verified by the simulation on an unstable nonlinear process subjected to actuator faults.
In this paper, two novel adaptive control strategies are presented based on the linear matrix inequality for nonlinear Lipschitz systems. The proposed approaches are developed by creatively using Krasovskii stability theory to compensate parametric uncertainty, unknown time-varying internal delay, and bounded matched or mismatched disturbance effects in closed-loop system of nonlinear systems. The online adaptive tuning controllers are designed such that reference input tracking and asymptotic stability of the closed-loop system are guaranteed. A novel structural algorithm is developed based on linear matrix inequality (LMI) and boundaries of the system delay or uncertainty. The capabilities of the proposed tracking and regulation methods are verified by simulation of three physical uncertain nonlinear system with real practical parameters subject to internal or state time delay and disturbance.
In this article, a novel sliding mode control (SMC) strategy for nonlinear Lipschitz systems with multiple and dissimilar time delays in the states and inputs is proposed. Using linear matrix inequality, a modified integral sliding surface scientifically based on which the innovative SMC approach is developed. Lyapunov–Krasovskii's theory is employed to guarantee asymptotic stability of the closed‐loop system, such that states starting from any arbitrary initial conditions reach the sliding surface in a finite time and stay on it for all subsequent time. It is also proved that the practical effects of the actuator's faults are simultaneously attenuated. An online adaptive tuning law is used to estimate and isolate actuators' possible faults reliably. From the implementation point of view, the controller structure is more straightforward than the most existing recent fault‐tolerant control methods. Simulation results performed on practical nonlinear systems (quadruple tank and industrial continuous stirred tank reactor) verified the outstanding merits of the proposed approach. The operational capabilities of the proposed scheme in the presence of actuators' faults and multiple delays in the states and inputs were also demonstrated.
