Command filtered‐based fixed‐time fault‐tolerant tracking control for nonlinear systems

Abstract

AbstractAs for a class of strict‐feedback nonlinear systems with simultaneous sensor and actuator faults, the article focuses on the problem of fixed‐time fault‐tolerant control. Both fixed‐time command filters and a compensation mechanism are utilized to cope with these issues of differential explosion and filter errors. Meanwhile, through the fusion of fixed‐time control, fuzzy logic systems, adaptive control and the backstepping technology, a ‐step design scheme is presented. Our proposed controller ensures the fixed‐time convergence of all the signals in the system even with sensor/actuator faults, and allows the designers to acquire the upper limit value of the fixed convergence time only by tuning the design parameters. And this scheme takes into account rapidity, adaptability and fault tolerance of the system simultaneously. Based on the numerical simulation analysis, it is shown that the better tracking performance can be achieved. So it is concluded that our strategy is effective.
