Robust delay dependent fault-tolerant control for switched systems with actuator failures

This article concerns the problem of fault tolerant control (FTC) for switched systems with time varying delays and actuator faults. Based on an observer synthesis, a new strategy of fault detection, localization and reconfiguration is established to preserve asymptotic stability when an actuator fails temporary or permanently. The design conditions are formalized in the form of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) using slack variables matrices. To show the efficiency of the proposed FTC approach, a numerical example is performed. Copyright (C) 2022 The Authors.
