This paper addresses the problem of integrated fault reconstruction and fault-tolerant control in linear systems subject to actuator faults via learning observers (LOs). A reconfigurable fault-tolerant controller is designed based on the constructed LO to compensate for the influence of actuator faults by stabilising the closed-loop system. An integrated design of the proposed LO and the fault-tolerant controller is explored such that their performance can be simultaneously considered and their coupling problem can be effectively solved. In addition, such an integrated design is formulated in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) that can be conveniently solved in a unified framework using LMI optimisation technique. At last, simulation studies on a micro-satellite attitude control system are provided to verify the effectiveness of the proposed approach. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

This paper addresses the problem of observer-based fault reconstruction for Takagi–Sugeno fuzzy systems. Two types of fuzzy learning observers are constructed to achieve simultaneous reconstruction of system states and actuator faults. Stability and convergence of the proposed observers are proved using Lyapunov stability theory, and necessary conditions for the existence of the observers are further discussed. The design of fuzzy learning observers can be formulated in terms of a series of linear matrix inequalities that can be conveniently solved using convex optimisation technique. A single-link flexible manipulator is employed to verify the effectiveness of the proposed fault-reconstructing approaches. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
