“…To demonstrate the superiority of the proposed method, a single link flexible joint robot arm is considered in this section, described by the following state‐space model: in which the nonlinear terms are described as Φ( x 1 , x 2 ) = [Φ 1 ( x 1 , x 2 ),Φ 2 ( x 1 , x 2 )] T , , , and the parameter matrices are given as , B f = [0,1] T , A 1 = [1, −1] T , A 2 = [1,0] T , A 3 = [1, −1] T , A 4 = [0,1] T ; furthermore, the parameters are , , , , . To ensure the consistency of simulation results, the fault signal is shown as follows: …”
