Dynamic simulations of multi-phase SSMC using Matlab Simulink are carried out to evaluate the fault tolerance capabilities. Investigation into different numbers of phases and power converter topologies under single phase open circuit, single switch open circuit, and single switch short circuit has been executed. The simulation results confirm 5-phase SSMC design as a compromise between fault tolerance and converter size/volume. A 5-phase SSMC prototype was built. Experimental results verify the effectiveness of our design.展开更多

The model parameters of the nonlinear systemtreated as functions of measured operating points and faults are estimated by HNN. Boththe nominal model of the healthy system and HNN training models corresponding to everyoperating point are recognized. In addition, the anticipated fault models corresponding toevery kind of fault and every operating point are obtaind in advance. The real systemmodel parameters of the system estimated by generalization process of HNN are matchedwith the nominal models of the healthy system and anticipated fault models. Consequent-ly, the final result of fault detection and diagnosis is acquired. The approach to fault diag-nosis is used in an aircraft actuating poisition servo system and the simulation resu1t is re-ported.展开更多

The designed adaptive controller compensates a general class of actuator failures without any need for explicit fault detection. The parameters, times, and patterns of the considered failures are completely unknown. The proposed controller is constructed based on a backstepping design method. The global boundedness of all the closed-loop signals is guaranteed and the tracking error is proved to converge to a small neighborhood of the origin. The proposed approach is employed for a two-axis positioning stage system as well as an aircraft wing system. The simulation results show the correctness and effectiveness of the proposed robust adaptive actuator failure compensation approach.展开更多
