As climate change is exacerbated and existing resources are depleted, the need for
sustainable industries becomes ever so important. Aviation is not an exception. Despite the …

This paper demystifies active and passive fault-tolerant control systems (FTCSs) by
examining the similarities and differences between these two approaches from both …

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 …

In this paper, a novel descriptor estimator-based incipient fault estimation scheme is
designed for Lipschitz nonlinear descriptor systems with process disturbances and …

This paper presents a new data-driven process monitoring method called recursive
transformed component statistical analysis (RTCSA) for the purpose of incipient fault …

In this paper, a novel sliding mode observer is proposed for systems that do not satisfy
common conditions required for fault estimation, in particular the so-called matching …

This paper considers incipient sensor fault detection issue for a class of nonlinear systems
with “observer unmatched” uncertainties. A particular fault detection sliding mode observer …

Single-phase pulse-width modulation (PWM) rectifier is commonly used in a high-speed
railway electric traction system. Occurrence of unexpected failure in the sensors of the …

This work considers the problem of sensor fault isolation and fault-tolerant control for
nonlinear systems subject to input constraints. The key idea is to design fault detection …

The present paper proposes two new schemes of sensor fault estimation for a class of
nonlinear systems and investigates their performances by applying these to satellite control …
