Stability and Active Fault-Tolerant Control design for a class of neutral time-delay systems

Abstract

This paper deals with the problem of stability and active fault-tolerant control design for neutral time-delay systems. Linear Matrix Inequality (LMI) technique was considered to study stability. First, for a class of linear neutral time-delay system, an adaptive-observer is designed to detect and estimate fault. In the second time, a new control law is proposed to achieve fault compensation, then, system stability in faulty status. Finally, simulations results are presented to illustrate the efficiency of the proposed fault tolerant control (FTC) method.
