Summary
This study proposes an improved adaptive fault diagnosis and compensation scheme for multisensor faults of hypersonic flight vehicles (HFVs). The faults are detected and isolated through a series of sensor output residuals and thresholds that consider observation error and disturbances. Via an adaptive augmented observer, the faults are estimated accurately and a time‐varying disturbance is handled by an additional differential part. Sensor faults are compensated on the basis of estimation results, and disturbances are considered in the fault‐tolerant control (FTC) design, thereby improving the tracking accuracy of the altitude and velocity and robustness with respect to external disturbances for HFVs. The stability of diagnosis and FTC is analyzed by Lyapunov theory. Numerical simulation results explain the validity of the proposed diagnosis and compensation methods.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
