Prescribed performance dynamic surface fuzzy control for strict-feedback nonlinear system with actuator fault

In this paper, an adaptive fuzzy control scheme for strict-feedback nonlinear system with finite-time prescribed performance and actuator fault is studied. First, we consider a prescribed performance function that enables the tracking error to converge within a preset interval in a finite time. Subsequently, the fuzzy logic system and dynamic surface control technology are embedded in the backstepping design process, and the purpose of the dynamic surface control technique is to settle the problem of computational explosion when processing the backstepping design. The fuzzy logic system is used to approximate the unknown functions that appear in the system. Finally, a new controller is designed in combination with an updated law which ensures that all the signals in the closed-loop is bounded. Two simulation examples are taken to illustrate the feasibility of the presented control scheme.
