Analysis and Synthesis of Fault-Tolerant Control Systems

In recent years, control systems have become more sophisticated
in order to meet increased performance and safety requirements for
modern technological systems. Engineers are becoming more aware
that conventional feedback control design for a complex system may
result in unsatisfactory performance, or even instability, in the
event of malfunctions in actuators, sensors or other system
components. In order to circumvent such weaknesses, new approaches
to control system design have emerged which can tolerate component
malfunctions while maintaining acceptable stability and
performance. These types of control systems are often known as
fault-tolerant control systems (FTCS). More precisely, FTCS are
control systems which possess the ability to accommodate component
failure automatically.

Analysis and Synthesis of Fault-Tolerant Control Systems
comprehensively covers the analysis and synthesis methods of fault
tolerant control systems. It unifies the methods for developing
controllers and filters for a wide class of dynamical systems and
reports on the recent technical advances in design methodologies.
MATLAB® is used throughout the book, to demonstrate methods of
analysis and design.

Key features:

• Provides advanced theoretical methods and typical
  practical applications

• Provides access to a spectrum of control design methods
  applied to industrial systems

• Includes case studies and illustrative examples

• Contains end-of-chapter problems

Analysis and Synthesis of Fault-Tolerant Control Systems
is a comprehensive reference for researchers and practitioners
working in this area, and is also a valuable source of information
for graduates and senior undergraduates in control, mechanical,
aerospace, electrical and mechatronics engineering departments.
