Sensor fault tolerant control for uncertain linear systems

This document proposes a sliding mode observer based Fault Tolerant Control (FTC) for uncertain linear system subject to defects affecting sensor faults and unknown disturbances. Augmented uncertain system is formulated when sensor faults are converted in actuator faults by using a simplistic filter. The aim of the proposed FTC scheme focuses on the compensation of sensor faults. Satisfactory conditions in term of Linear Matrix Inequalities (LMI) are executed to assure the stability of uncertain linear system. Simulation example is donated to demonstrate the performances of the suggested FTC scheme.
