Sliding-Mode Observer-Based Fault Reconstruction for T-S Fuzzy Descriptor Systems

This article discusses the problem of sliding-mode observer (SMO)-based fault reconstruction for T-S fuzzy descriptor systems by using the RBF neural network. First, a descriptor learning SMO, without the observability condition of fast subsystem, is developed such that the reconstruction of fault and states is achieved, simultaneously. Then, a sufficient linear matrix inequality (LMI) condition is presented to guarantee the admissibility of the sliding motion. Meanwhile, the LMI condition ensures the boundedness of the state and fault estimation errors. By utilizing robust H_∞ strategy, the impact of disturbance on the system can be reduced. Moreover, an RBF neural network-based sliding-mode control (SMC) strategy is adopted to estimate the nonlinearity, unknown positive constants, and ensure the reachability condition, simultaneously. Finally, an example is presented to verify the efficacy of our approach.
