Mode Transition and Fault Tolerant Control under Rotor-tilt Axle Stuck Fault of Quad-TRUAV

Fault Tolerant Model Predictive Control of Quad-Rotor Helicopters with Actuator Fault Estimation

Model predictive control (MPC) at each time step minimizes a cost function subject to dynamical constraints to obtain a stabilizing control signal. Further, MPC is one of the few methodologies that can be used to design feedback control for nonlinear dynamical systems taking into consideration of actuator saturations. It can thus serve as a suitable fault tolerant control approach for quad-roto...

Fault Diagnosis and Fault-Tolerant SVPWM Technique of Six-phase Converter under Open-Switch Fault

In this paper, a new open-switch fault diagnosis method is proposed for the six-phase AC-DC converter based on the difference between the phase current and the corresponding reference using an adaptive threshold. The open-switch faults are detected without any additional equipment and complicated calculations, since the proposed fault detection method is integrated with the controller required ...

Fault-Tolerant Control of a Nonlinear Process with Input Constraints

A Fault-Tolerant Control (FTC) methodology has been presented for nonlinear processes being imposed by control input constraints. The proposed methodology uses a combination of Feedback Linearization and Model Predictive Control (FLMPC) schemes. The resulting constraints in the transformed process will be dependent on the actual evolving states, making their incorporation in the de...

Integral sliding mode fault tolerant control schemes with control allocation

Integral Sliding Mode Fault Tolerant Control Schemes with Control Allocation Mirza Tariq Hamayun The key attribute of a Fault Tolerant Control (FTC) system is to maintain overall system stability and acceptable performance in the face of faults and failures within the system. In this thesis new integral sliding mode (ISM) control allocation schemes for FTC are proposed, which have the potential...
