Adaptive Fault Compensation and Disturbance Suppression Design for Nonlinear Systems with an Aircraft Control Application

Abstract EN

A comprehensive adaptive compensation control strategy based on feedback linearization design is proposed for multivariable nonlinear systems with uncertain actuator fault and unknown mismatched disturbances.

Firstly, the linear dynamic system is obtained through nonlinear feedback linearization, and the dynamic model of the mismatched disturbances as well as its relevance to the nonlinear system is given.

The effect of disturbances on the system output is suppressed with the basic controller of the linearized system.

Then, a direct adaptive controller is developed for the multiple uncertain actuator faults.

Finally, an integrated algorithm based on adaptive weighted fusion could provide an effective compensation for the effect of multiple uncertain faults and mismatched disturbances.

Thus, the stability and asymptotic tracking performance of the closed-loop system are ensured.

The feasibility and performance of the proposed control strategy are validated by the numerical simulation results.
