Thrust Vectoring and Control of an Unstable System

A Fault Tolerant Flight Control System For Sensor And Actuator Faults

The purpose of the paper is to present an approach to detect, isolate and accommodate the sensor or actuator faults using bank of unknown input observers (UIO). Full order observers, reduced order observers, unknown input observers and Kalman Filter are widely used in state estimations [1]. After the estimation of states, fault detection and isolation can be provided by conducting residual anal...

Geometric tracking control of thrust vectoring UAVs

In this paper a geometric approach to the trajectory tracking control of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles with thrust vectoring capabilities is proposed. The control design is suitable for aerial systems that allow to effectively decouple position and orientation tracking tasks. The control problem is developed within the framework of geometric control theory on the group of rigid displacements SE (3),...

Control Reconfiguration of a Boiler-Turbine Unit After Actuator Faults

Boiler-turbines are one of the most important parts in power generation plants. The safety problem in such systems has always been a special concern. This paper discusses the application of control reconfig uration by fault-hiding approach for a boiler-turbine unit. In Fault-hiding approach, after occurrence of a fault, nominal controller of the system remains unchanged; instead, a reconfigurat...
