This article investigates actuator fault diagnosis for continuous-time systems with unknown but bounded uncertainties. A novel interval-based adaptive threshold computation approach is proposed for residual evaluation. Meanwhile, peak-to-peak performance is applied to generate robust residuals against system uncertainties. By integrating the designed peak-to-peak residual generator with adaptive thresholds, we can achieve promising fault detection results.Furthermore, based on the general observer scheme, the proposed residual generator and adaptive thresholds can be equally used for fault isolation. Simulation results are given to illustrate the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed fault detection and isolation method.
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.
