Observer‐based fault estimators using iterative learning scheme for nonlinear time‐delay systems with intermittent faults

Abstract

Summary This paper deals with the intermittent fault estimation problem for a class of nonlinear time‐delay systems with measurement noise. The time delays are assumed to occur in state vector, nonlinear term as well as output vector, thus reflecting the time delays influence in reality more closely. The aim of the problem is to estimate the intermittent fault by using iterative learning scheme, with the property of H∞ index, hence attenuating the influence from measurement noise. Different from existing fault estimating schemes, the state error information and fault estimating information in the previous iteration are used in the current iteration to improve the estimating results. The stability and convergence of iterative learning observer and uniform boundedness of dynamic error system are achieved by using Lyapunov function and optimal function design. Simultaneously, an improved sufficient condition for the existence of such an estimator is established in terms of the linear matrix inequality by the Schur complements and Young relations. Furthermore, the results are both suited for the systems with time‐varying delay and the systems with constant delay. Finally, two numerical examples are proposed to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method, and a comparability example is presented to demonstrate its superiority.

Sliding Mode Observer-Based Stuck Fault and Partial Loss-of-Effectiveness (PLOE) Fault Detection of Hypersonic Flight Vehicle

“…Much attention has been attracted in both military and civilian hypersonic vehicle (HSV) fields over the last several decades [1,2]. In contrast with ordinary aircrafts, hypersonic vehicles are confronted with more complicated circumstances, such as fast speeds, large payloads, complicated external disturbances and complex environments [3,4].…”

Improved fault detection and control allocation for hypersonic re‐entry vehicle subject to intermittent fault and disturbance

“…To date, many allocation optimization algorithms have been proposed to distribute the desired torque to aerodynamic surfaces and RCS jets. 25 In the current study, an optimization control allocation algorithm using mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) is designed to allocate torque to all aerodynamic surfaces and RCS jets. 3 To solve the tracking problem of a class of aircrafts, a novel control allocation method based on an improved cuckoo search algorithm was applied.…”

“…Therefore, under the premise of providing sufficient torque, RCS jets should be used as little as possible. To date, many allocation optimization algorithms have been proposed to distribute the desired torque to aerodynamic surfaces and RCS jets 25 .

D‐type iterative learning control for one‐sided Lipschitz nonlinear systems

“…In the work of Yu et al, the adaptive ILC problem was addressed for a class of MIMO discrete‐time nonlinear systems with time‐iteration‐varying parameters. In the work of Feng et al, the fault estimation problem via iterative learning was presented for a class of nonlinear time‐delay systems. It should be pointed out that, however, most of the nonlinear systems in the field of ILC are considered to satisfy Lipschitz condition.…”
