Fault-Tolerant Control for Time-Varying Delayed T-S Fuzzy Systems

 

The research on fault estimation and tolerant control has drawn attention from engineers and scientists in various fields such as electrical, mechanical, aerospace, chemical, and nuclear engineering. The book provides a comprehensive framework for this topic, placing a strong emphasis on the importance of stability analysis and the impact of result conservatism on the design and implementation of observers and controllers. It is intended for undergraduate and graduate students interested in fault diagnosis and tolerant control technology, researchers studying time-varying delayed T-S fuzzy systems, and observer/controller design engineers working on system stability applications.

Shaoxin Sun received her B.S. in control technology and instrumentation from Hebei University, Baoding, China, in 2014, her M.S. in control theory and control engineering from Northeastern University, Shenyang, China, in 2016, and her Ph.D. in control theory and control engineering from Northeastern University, Shenyang, China, in 2021. She currently serves as an assistant research fellow in the College of Automation at Chongqing University, Chongqing, China, where her research interests include fuzzy systems, stochastic/random systems, time-delay systems, fault estimation and fault-tolerant control.

Huaguang Zhang (M'03-SM'04-F'14) received his B.S. and M.S. in control engineering from the Northeast Dianli University of China, Jilin City, China, in 1982 and 1985, respectively, and his Ph.D. in thermal power engineering and automation from Southeast University, Nanjing, China, in 1991. He is a prolific author and inventor, having authored and co-authored over 280 journal and conference papers, six monographs, and co-invented 90 patents. His current research interests include fuzzy control, stochastic system control, neural networks-based control, nonlinear control, and their applications.
