In recent years, control systems have become more sophisticatedin order to meet increased performance and safety requirements formodern technological systems. Engineers are becoming more awarethat conventional feedback control design for a complex system mayresult in unsatisfactory performance, or even instability, in theevent of malfunctions in actuators, sensors or other systemcomponents. In order to circumvent such weaknesses, new approachesto control system design have emerged which can tolerate componentmalfunctions while maintaining acceptable stability andperformance. These types of control systems are often known asfault-tolerant control systems (FTCS). More precisely, FTCS arecontrol systems which possess the ability to accommodate componentfailure automatically.
Analysis and Synthesis of Fault-Tolerant Control Systemscomprehensively covers the analysis and synthesis methods of faulttolerant control systems. It unifies the methods for developingcontrollers and filters for a wide class of dynamical systems andreports on the recent technical advances in design methodologies.MATLAB® is used throughout the book, to demonstrate methods ofanalysis and design.
Key features:
* Provides advanced theoretical methods and typicalpractical applications
* Provides access to a spectrum of control design methodsapplied to industrial systems
* Includes case studies and illustrative examples
* Contains end-of-chapter problems
Analysis and Synthesis of Fault-Tolerant Control Systemsis a comprehensive reference for researchers and practitionersworking in this area, and is also a valuable source of informationfor graduates and senior undergraduates in control, mechanical,aerospace, electrical and mechatronics engineering departments.
