An Unknown Input Observer for Fault Detection Based on Sliding Mode Observer in Electrical Steering Assist Systems

Steering assist system controls the force transfer behavior of the steering system and improves the steering probability of the vehicle. Moreover, it is an interface between the diver and vehicle. Fault detection in electrical assisted steering systems is a challenging problem due to frequently use of these systems. This paper addresses the fault detection and reconstruction in automotive elect...

Fault Reconstruction Based on Sliding Mode Observer for Nonlinear Systems

This paper presents a precision fault reconstruction scheme for a class of nonlinear systems involving unknown input disturbances. First, using the coordinate transformation algorithm, the disturbances and faults of the system are fully decoupled. Therefore, it is possible to eliminate the influence of disturbances to the system, namely, better disturbances robustness. On this basis, the design...

Discussion on: A Comparison of Sliding Mode and Unknown Input Observer for Fault Reconstruction

Sliding Mode Observer-Based Fault Reconstruction for Uncertain Linear Systems

Problem statement: Fault reconstruction scheme is different from the majority of Fault Detection and Isolation (FDI) methods described in the literature in the sense that it not only detects and isolates the fault, but provides an estimate of the fault. This approach is very useful for incipient faults and slow drifts, which are very difficult to detect. Also, this approach is very useful for F...

Fault-Tolerant Control Allocation: an Unknown Input Observer based approach

This paper focuses on the use of unknown input observers for detection and isolation of actuator and effector faults with control reconfiguration in overactuated systems. The control allocation actively uses input redundancy in order to make relevant faults observable. The case study of an overactuated marine vessel supports theoretical developments.

Sensor fault detection and isolation for nonlinear systems based on a sliding mode observer

In this paper, a sensor fault detection and isolation scheme for nonlinear systems is considered. A nonlinear diffeomorphism is introduced to explore the system structure and a simple filter is presented to ‘transform’ the sensor fault into a pseudo-actuator fault scenario. A sliding mode observer is designed to reconstruct the sensor fault precisely if the system does not experience any uncert...
