Bibliographical review on reconfigurable fault-tolerant control systems

Y Zhang, J Jiang - Annual reviews in control, 2008 - Elsevier
In this paper, a bibliographical review on reconfigurable (active) fault-tolerant control systems
(FTCS) is presented. The existing approaches to fault detection and diagnosis (FDD) and …

[BOOK][B] Active fault tolerant control systems: stochastic analysis and synthesis

M Mahmoud, J Jiang, Y Zhang - 2003 - books.google.com
Modern technological systems rely on sophisticated control functions to meet increased
performance requirements. For such systems, Fault Tolerant Control Systems (FTCS) need to be …

Adaptive sliding mode fault tolerant attitude tracking control for flexible spacecraft under actuator saturation

B Xiao, Q Hu, Y Zhang - IEEE Transactions on Control Systems …, 2011 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
A novel fault tolerant attitude tracking control scheme is developed for flexible spacecraft with
partial loss of actuator effectiveness fault. Neural networks are first introduced to account …

Fault tolerant control system design with explicit consideration of performance degradation

Y Zhang, J Jiang - IEEE Transactions on Aerospace and …, 2003 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
A new approach is proposed for active fault tolerant control systems (FTCS), which allows
one to explicitly incorporate allowable system performance degradation in the event of partial …

Detection, estimation, and accommodation of loss of control effectiveness

N Eva Wu, Y Zhang, K Zhou - International journal of adaptive …, 2000 - Wiley Online Library
In this paper, an adaptive Kalman filtering algorithm is developed for use to estimate the
reduction of control effectiveness in a closed‐loop setting. Control effectiveness factors are used …

Flatness-based trajectory planning/replanning for a quadrotor unmanned aerial vehicle

A Chamseddine, Y Zhang, CA Rabbath… - … on Aerospace and …, 2012 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
A flatness-based flight trajectory planning/replanning strategy is proposed for a quadrotor
unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). In the nominal situation (fault-free case), the objective is to …
