A new separated fault estimator and fault-tolerant control design strategy for uncertain nonlinear systems using T-S fuzzy modeling

In this paper, a new separated design of adaptive observer-based fault estimator (FE) and fault-tolerant control (FTC) is introduced for nonlinear systems along with sensor and actuator faults in the presence of external disturbance and parametric modeling uncertainty by T-S fuzzy modeling, which can easily challenge integrated design strategies. Firstly, a new fuzzy adaptive FE estimates actuator/sensor faults, and the system states simultaneously and also can automatically estimate and compensates bi-directional uncertainties between FE function and control system. Secondly, a fuzzy state feedback FTC controller is designed based on these estimations. Then the proposed separated FE/FTC design presented which is solved by linear matrix inequality via optimization. Finally, a tutorial example of an inverted pendulum on a cart demonstrates the validity and effectiveness of the proposed design.
