Flight safety is undoubtedly the most important requirement for modern aircraft design and
operation. However, in reality, aircraft flight performance and safety are inevitably affected by …

In this paper, a bibliographical review on reconfigurable (active) fault-tolerant control
systems (FTCS) is presented. The existing approaches to fault detection and diagnosis …

This paper proposes a fault-tolerant control (FTC) scheme for a hypersonic gliding vehicle to
counteract actuator faults and model uncertainties. Starting from the kinematic and …

Fault Detection and Fault-tolerant Control Using Sliding Modes is the first text dedicated to
showing the latest developments in the use of sliding-mode concepts for fault detection and …

The contribution of this study is threefold. First, a vector (multivariable) super‐twisting
algorithm is designed to provide a direct extension of the conventional scalar super‐twisting …

A new smooth second-order sliding mode control (SSOSM) is proposed and proved for a
system driven by uncertain sufficiently smooth disturbances. The main target application of …

The nation's goals to replace the aging Space Shuttle fleet and pursue exploration of our
solar system and beyond will require more robust, less costly launch vehicles and …

In this paper, a bibliographical review on reconfigurable fault-tolerant control systems
(FTCS) is presented. The existing approaches for fault detection and diagnosis (FDD) and …

This paper proposes an Incremental Sliding Mode Control driven by Sliding Mode
Disturbance Observers (INDI-SMC/SMDO), with application to a quadrotor fault tolerant …

In this technical note, a controller ensuring exponential exact tracking in the presence of
matched and unmatched disturbances for the nonlinear systems in the block controllable …
