This paper presents a robust fault identification scheme based on fractional-order integral sliding mode observer (FOISMO) for turbofan engine sensors with uncertainties. The equilibrium manifold expansion (EME) model is introduced due to its simplicity and accuracy for nonlinear system. A fractional-order integral sliding mode observer is designed to reconstruct faults on sensors, in which the fractional-order integral sliding surface guarantees the fast convergence of reconstruction. The observer parameters is selected according to L2 gain theory in order to minimize the effect of uncertainties on the fault reconstruction signal. Simulations in Matlab/Simulink show high reconstruction accuracy of the proposed method despite the present of uncertainties.
